Awesome.
I wish I could afford something like that.
Enjoy that man, you deserve it for that ammount of cash you have.
 
this is just me but i have never heard of the brand "pqi" that u have ur ram listed as.(maby because i am in the land down under)

and if you have the money i would suggest a 10,000 RPM hard drive for you main games and windows.
 
PQI is pretty common, they use exactly the same PCB's and chips (samsung TCCD's) in their RAM as OCZ. the heatspreaders are slightly different (because of the writing)
 
The pqi ram is just value ram and will perform no different than more expenisve ram right? It's got a lifetime warranty so if it dies no biggie.

As for the 10,000rpm disk.....I've heard mixed opinions on this. Some say to get a small 10Krpm for windows and games yet others say its not worth the money and that I'd get just as good if not better performance by putting two 7,200rpm disks in RAID-0. I figured I'd save some money and go for the RAID-0 setup.
 
It might be worth it 2 get 2 gigs of RAM, as high settings on BF2 and FEAR require 2 gigs
 
yes the link is fine and that build is great for gaming. You changed teh ram its going to be better for you for gaming BF2 and FEAR are Memory hungry man.
 
Sweet. I have two more questions though.

1. Should I get a pair of aluminum heat spreaders for the ram?

2. Will the DFI motherboard manual have detailed instructions on how to setup a RAID-0 array? I really have no idea how to do it.
