Ok so as most of you here know I have started and planned a complete upgrade and overhaul on my rig. You can see what I want or plan to do in my sig. Now I have recently ordered an Open Box P5N-E and once or if I can get the board to work and overclock to where I want it I have an offer of 70 bucks shipped for my current board. After purchasing this board I will then be looking to spend 30-35 bucks on SVC on some things such as cables, lights, screws, ect to make my rig look sweet.
I have that much allready and then once I get about 60 from my Board I originally was going to buy a Recert WD 250Gb SATA 3.0 drive off zipzoomfly for 60 bucks and RAID 0 my rig becuase I have about 80GB left anyway and the performance increase will be nice as will another 250 gigs.
HOWEVER I am not sure if I really do want to use that money on RAID since it's not really needed and doesn't increase game FPS, but still is very nice.
I guess I'm saying I will have 60 bucks to spend here in a few days and what do you think I should get? The only two things I can think of is an upgrade to the video card or another drive to RAID 0. I could sell my 7900GS for 130 shipped or so probably on another site and use that money to buy an X1950XT however I did not plan on getting this much stuff already for my rig. My Aunt bought be the board and it was a trade for the PSU. I figured I would end up spending 150 bucks here in the next month or so and then would have enough to get an X1950Xt later.
Like I said since I have upgraded so much so fast I am now considering svaing for an 8800GTS 320 since I figured I wouldn't have 150 bucks to blow after buying the other stuff but now I'm not so sure. What would you guys do in my situation? I still probably will buy the HDD and RAID them but im still not so sure.
Thanks heh
