With a g11 or g15 keyboard, G7 cordless mouse and a decent Xi-FI sound card when i decided which i want.

Only thing i really have left to consider is my OS. Since this will mainly be for gaming, its will be vista, and with 4gb of ram, probably looking at vista 64.
As well, since i will be doing raid 0 with my two 250gb, would i need a floppy drive? or could i use a flash drive?

Everything looks great, but that's a costly motherboard you've chosen there.

 

[Prophet]

yeah its a little on the pricey side, but it a monster overclocker and has a nice layout that i like. I was gonna go with the P5K deluxe but with a large ghx card like the 8800 it can block 2 sata ports and a PCI slot.

actually, it sounds like they have jumped the gun with that mobo... I'd wait till it stabalized

with that q6600 and Mobo combo they got 3.6ghz.. quite impressive..

wonder what you'll get with that e2180

 

[Preacher]

Nice build ! Get a G15

 

[Vaanish]

Get either Saitek Eclipse or G11 for the keyboard. And the new G5 with two thumb buttons, razer deathadder or Logitech MX518 for the mouse.

 

[Prophet]

the saitek eclipse looks fugly to me. I will probably go with the G11, the LCD screen for the g15 will be useless for me as i have no real need for it. i was under the impression the G7 was the G5, just cordless.

 

[phucng_10]

Well it's your personal preference. I'd also say that the Saitek Eclipse looks way better then the G11.

 

[Invisible]

nah g11 looks way cooler
