Hey everyone, i've finally decided to build a new gaming computer and have 1500 dollars at my disposal. I'd like to get the best computer for my money, and already have a low priced list of components.
My list of components:
Mboard- GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
Psupply- Antec neopower 500w sli cert. modular
Graphics- EVGA 512-P3-N976-AR GeForce 9800 GT Superclocked Edition 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
HD - Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8500 - Retail
Case- LIAN LI PC-65 USB B2 Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAM- mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996587 - Retail
OS- Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 64-bit English 1pk for System Builders DSP OEI DVD - OEM
I'd like to run a RAID 0 array with the harddrive, I know its a ridiculous amount of memory but i do alot of torrents, and this will be my only computer for many years.
I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions that you all could offer, please let me know if i am bottle-necking any parts and what parts i could upgrade.
Thanks
