This is for a new rig I'm building, I do some gaming but most everything else is simple office type applications so the only things would really stress the system would be gaming. Examples of games might be Skyrim, BF3, the new Sins Rebellion game coming in a few months...stuff like that.
I originally had planned to use 2 60GB ssd's in raid 1 setup as the boot drive for 64-bit Windows 7 ultimate. This drive would only be used for Windows and all other files would be stored on a different drive consisting of standard hard disks.
I was planning on sticking with 8GB of ram since there isn't much these days in the gaming realm that would use that much......well I guess Skyrim can address more than 4GB now can't it?
Anyway I guess what I'm asking is if the setup itself seems like it would do reasonably well for performance in multiplayer gaming setups for minimal data access times.
