I am going to be building a new computer and just wanted to double check to make sure what I have picked is compatible/good picks. The computer will be mainly for gaming. Setup is as follows:
My main question is: Are those parts compatible with eachother?
Some other questions: What should I do for sound? Is getting a seperate sound card recommended for gaming, or is the onboard sound good enough? Also, would it be beneficial to get a second identical hard drive for RAID 0?
Thanks for any help.
