ok thats about it, one thing that may be an exception is whether or not i should get a sound card such as soundblaster titanium, or X-FI gamer.
Mostly the computer is being buit to occasionaly play games like WOW, Medieval, and other games that are pretty highly dependant on graphics, but mostly im trying to set up a media center type computer in which im not sure on the hard drive requirements just yet but my idea was to have the main hard drive with OS which will most likely be Windows Vista 64 Bit Edition, maybe Ubuntu as secondary OS. Also im not familiar with RAID configurations so the idea was to have 2 other hard drives w/ the 2nd hard drive dedicated to gaming so it dont have to be that big maybe around an 8 GB Solid State drive unless that would be too small, and the 3rd hard drive dedicated to movie and music storage so it would be 500GB or greater. My friend says that going with a RAID 0 configuration would be the best bet for performance with my OS and Games so any reccomendations would be great on that part. Umm the problem im having with choice of video cards isn't really performance because I have read benchmarks and what not and I dont really plan on playing F.E.A.R. or CRYSIS so the debate is with the 3 way SLI on my MOBO would I be better off with the 8800GT with possibility of heaven forbid if I start getting into more graphic intense games adding in a second 8800GT or would I be better off with either a 9800 Series or another brand. I have my own 19'' monitor and dvd-r-rw drive already as well as floppy. Would anyone also reccomend an extra fan in the front of the case or possibly an extra fan controller seeing how this is my first build and im not sure about all the overclocking andcooling requirements if I even go that route.....anything I have left out of my build, please feel free to let me know...thank you
