Some good choices there but am curious as to why you recomended a lesser CPU? My understanding of these things isnt what it once was.... care to explain? :)
 
Raid0

I would buy two of those HDDs and put em in RADI0.

Big boost in loading times on games, and large files etc.

See I wasnt quite sure what the benefits of RAID0 actually where. I thought the boost would come simply enough for having one of those HDD's as they are wickedly quick. Is the performance gain for having 2 in Raid0 justifiable for the cost?
 
Damn that mobo is really good, If I ever get real rich i'll buy that :haha:

And for the 2 HDDs in a Raid0 form would really boost your gaming experienced because if you get 2 7200RPM ( cheaper ones ) that is
2x7200 = 14400 which is really good :)
 
Because ive found a great company that will allow me to build it myself, offer a finance option of buy now pay in 9 months, are cheaper than most online retailers and have a great one year warranty that can be extended if the need be and all parts are covered by extended or lifetime garuntee's by the manufacturers! :)
 
Ahh ok :D

Well newegg is the coolest because they ship in like 2-3 days and BAM! you can build a awesome computer then be Headshoting all the people in BF2142 :)
 
I cant wait to get this new system of mine, im sure things will keep changing between now and Febuary but when I get her running like the nuke toting psycho she is going to be we shall meet for some online noob beating! :D
