Thanks a lot, will do.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a newb, I don't know what it means to RMA something? Can someone explain?

Okay as some of you know I ordered a new computer last week, it came Friday and I asked my friend to help me put it together. This was quite possibly the worst mistake I've made in my entire life. I don't really feel like going into details about how many times it was fucked up, but I'll tell...

Yes, yes it does. Imagine trying to play doom3 and cs:s on it. That's what I've been going through for 5 long years.

Final build! (Probably).. Case: Thermaltake VA3000 Dream Tower Black VA3000BWA ATX Case with Transparent X type side panel window -RETAIL http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProdu...ufactory=BROWSE CD/DVD Burner:NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive, Black, Model ND-3520A BK, OEM...

I think I'll just go for a normal data drive, but get the aftermarket heatsink you mentioned earlier anyways. I really appreciate your help, I think I've got an idea of my final build now. You rock.

My brother actually said something about him having dual raptor drives, I didn't think it made a difference.. but obviously it does? I don't think I'll be needing more than 80gb of space, but if it will increase my performance, I'll put some thought into it. Any links for thought?

Okay, you said the retail winchester, you mean this? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-502&depa=1 That would work with the MSI board you posted, right? And what about the other stuff? My RAM and everything else I listed earlier in the topic (excluded the...

I looked into some AMD mobo/cpus and the two of these caught my eye, but a couple of questions: How would the compare to my system with the intel? And would everything else be compatible with these? Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-136-154&depa=1...

Sorry to be such a newb, but what's a fan controller? I've never even heard of such a thing. However, the case I spec'd has 3 rather large fans. I looked at cooler masters and they don't really look that good to me. This is my current: Cooling System: 1 x 120mm front fan, 1 x 90mm side fan, 1...

Okay, I've come to a few decisions. I've decided against overclocking, because I really don't want to screw it up. I've also decided on getting the LCD and not going for CRT. One question though.. the mobo/processor I mentioned, if I switched to an A64 how much of a difference would I notice...

I'm interested in it if it's relatively easy/safe to do, I might consider giving it a shot, especially if it will save me money. And you lost me on that last point, what's an aftermarket heatsink? I do want this system to run very quiet, the one I have now is very noisy and I hate it, so the...

Well, I'm not really that insane with multitasking. The most I do is run AIM/MSN and some IE windows, maybe winamp and a few other things while playing, but I'd like to be able to do that at least, and minimize/maximize with little or no screenlag. I'm not big into overclocking, I've never...

Thanks a lot for your advice, I looked into it and changed some stuff. I switched the video card to EVGA, only $5 more: eVGA nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT Video Card, 256MB GDDR3, 256-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "256-A8-N344-AX" -RETAIL...

The floppy is only $10, and I use it a lot.
