Yea, I'm going to OC to the best of my abilities. also, the Sonata II has a built-in PSU, is it removable, or should I just stick with the "450Watt SmartPower 2.0" one built in?

Wow, you sure know your stuff. Ok, I'll be going with the the 7900 GT. I'm sure it will be a huge step up from the monstrosity I have now. Thanks, sovay PS: I think the comments on that card are awesome. EDIT: Wow, I've heard really good things about this heatsink. How does it...

Heh, yes, I'm aware of the whole lsurround-sound-doesn't-work-with-headphones argument, but I shall indeed see for myself. Ok, I've changed a few things yet again, but I need help. Which of these two cards is better? one or two? Also, if I go with two, in a few years if I pick up another one...

Ok, I've switched case to this and video card is still sort of up in the air. I don't really want so spend $600, but I sort of want a better card than the BFG GeForce 7900 GT. could this be the answer to my problems? Oh, and I opted to get Tritton 5.1 headphones instead of Sennheiser/JVC...

Ok guys, thanks for all the help.

Ok; and one final question, how exaclty does this video card differ from the one I was planning on getting? would it be wise for me to save some money and go with this one instead? EDIT: Also, would a sound card really benefit me?

Ok, I've sort of compiled most of my parts here... All that's left to do is to do a few once-overs to make sure everything looks good together. cpu mobo sound card thermal paste ;d heatsink memory psu gpu hdd (only one) opticaldrive case Basicly, all that there needs to fit into...

Hmm, prettycool cases they have at that site ;d Could someone tell me if either of the following two cases will fit my mobo (atx set-up) and my Zalman 9500? http://xoxide.com/lian-li-6070b-plus-case-black.html http://xoxide.com/thermaltake-shark-silver-va7000swa.html EDIT: also, I found...

Hey thanks, I like some of those options a lot. However, why two raptors? Is it simply for extra storage, or will getting of of them (as opposed to one) improve performance? EDIT: Now all I really need is a case... Is there any aspects of a case I should look at, or are the cases simply...

Are there advantages to Crossfire? Is it just ATI's version of SLI? Would it then be in better interest to get a 74gb raptor? Cool, thanks. This? Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have enough room in my dorm to have a 5.1 setup. I really like the Headphones/AMP/SU-DH1/X-Plosion idea, so I think...

Ok, thanks for the help everyone, and I've decided on quite a number of things.. CPU will be the E6600. Mobo will be the P5W DH Deluxe because I can get it $20 off, and, opposed to the other mobos, this one is in stock. Now, this mobo has crossfire, so should I go with ATI cards, then? My...

Ok, I've already got the G15 keyboard, the G7 mouse and the VX2025WM LCD display. I'm going with the Dual 2 Core E6600, but I still need virtually everything else. So, I still need my mobo, gpu, psu, memory (probably going with 2x 1gb corsairs, unless a better option is available), cd drive...

Is going for a SLI mobo worth it? Also, with an SLI mobo, can I solo GPU, or do I have to get two? Also, I've decided on the G15 keyboard and the G7 mouse. I need a good moniter and a nice pair of headphones still. thanks, -sovay

Ok, I'm fairly set on the E6600, and as for the motherboard, is there any specific comparison between the Asus P5W DH Deluxe and the 965? I like the P5W, but if the 965 is very similar performance-wise, I might as well save myself a bit of money. EDIT And yes, I have access to all sorts of...

Hey, thanks for the replies and help~ Yea, I'm looking for a high-end system that will last me quite some time, yet still be upgradable should I choose to do so. And yes, I need everything, including a case of suitable size. Another thing: should I spend money on speakers or should I just...
