http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13553148 take a look at that one, subtract the monitor & keyboard and the VelociRaptor if you like, though I included it because it is the fastest mechanical HDD aside from expensive SAS solution. Yes I know the GTX285...

I recommend you take a look at the entry level section of this guide (AMD or Intel, whatever you desire) then subtract the things you already have and add a new R4770, you'll be set. http://anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=3563 Processor AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE Deneb (Tri-core 2.8GHz...

lol, I'm sorry if I came across as offensive, I tend to be a bit sarcastic at times and forget this is the internet. Thank you greatly for providing the charts for me, very helpful. In regards to the power supply, I plan on buying a second card halfway through summer or so, and I would like...

Here's the list for those who are too lazy to click a link :P Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speaker - Retail CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible ... - Retail LITE-ON Black Blu-ray Disc Combo SATA Model...

sorry, I forgot about that. I meant to have the corsair 1000 watt modular there. It's either that or the 850TX which is not modular unfortunately. :( i remain unconvinced in regards to the the higher latency being the same argument... 6 is clearly lower than 9, my logic is clearly...

TTT I've put up an updated wish-list, in case anyone is interested to provide some further advice. :) http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15590947

Hmm... alright. I find that odd though, how could you be unsatisfied with the Vertex? Anyway, can anyone else comment upon my build?

Not enough to justify $20?

Alright I'll definitely put that into consideration, but wouldn't 2000 be more effective for overclocking? @ enginurd: I'm fairly confident that a single Vertex will provide more than enough performance... or at least I hope.

The idea of 2 Vertex's in RAID sounds complicated. I have limited experience with RAID setup, never done it myself... And please don't mention deals that are long gone, you're making me feel bad :(. Any other comments/suggestions regarding my configuration? Liven up my thread, por favor. :)

Naturally, I am aware that VR supply the cream of the crop performance with SATA Hard Disks, but from what I've read the SSD is still superior.

Yes it is an LED HDTV by Samsung. I will go check it out.

Neither of those are heatsink/fan combo's, heatsink only. Do you have fan recommendations to go with them? Regarding RAM if ya'll say so I guess I'll stick with 1600. Just out of curiosity how much of a difference is there between 1600 and 2000? Any benchmarking links? VR are the same price as...

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I already have a copy of Vista which I will be using. No need to pencil that into the price. @ tiraides, Your suggestions are similar to Danny's, though I am curious as to why you suggest a 60GB vertex as opposed to the 120. Actually, you just made me think of...

Thanks, I slimmed the OP down a little bit. PSU - One of my desires was to use a modular PSU for cable management reasons... Do you think the price is not justified? I don't really want the guts of my PC to be all tangled. @ RAM - I'm not a fan of G-Skill, used there sticks before and felt...
