Re: I\'m building a gaming / poker PC, I need help!
Looks fine, but the RAID 0 thing is overrated. You wont notice much improvement in speed, and if one drive goes out, you lose it all.
For specific Parts:
Case is Fine, though I prefer some others, its all aesthetics.
HDs are very nice, forget about the RAID though, just buy 1 Raptor for your sys drive and one of the 7200RPM 400 Gig drives for storage.
Mobo is good
Processor is top of the line. You could go lower and still be able to game though, the 3800 is the sweet spot right now I think. Or at least it was last week.
Video Card is solid. You could go with the regular GT though. Also, I would recommend the BFG GTX since it's overclocked already.
RAM is good
OS is good.
You dont need the SLI, and it will work for Dual monitor I think. Though the gain is ~15-20% for SLI, for buying 2X the Vid Card.
And try pricing it at Monarch Computer I just had them build my Dual Opteron 250 for me.
