Leaves me with plenty of spare cash to save for another investment in the long haul. I will be ordering it this weekend. Its still in pencil however after much reviews, threads, reading I beleive this is what it all comes down to.
Let me know if you have any better advice, or just leave your opinion.

Thanks,

Great mouse selection. It looks like you're a heavy gamer, and the 518 has done nothing but wonders for me.

Enjoy the new rig!
 
Have you considered the new G5? It's a step up from the MX518, and I believe it's only $20 more. Also, get some extra case fans. To my knowledge, the V1000 doesn't come with fans for all its mounts.

Definitly, that and the RAZER Copperhead. The MX518 I have actually felt in my hand. I like it. People are unimpressed by the expensive G5. Its corny weight system, and its unreachable thumb buttons. I just don't feel like being another guiny pig. I would rather go with what I know best. You say fans. That reminds me... I am looking to keep my computer as silent as possible. What fans are recommended for preformance while keeping silence?
 
Looks awesome. You've most likely done more research into it than I have, but personally I think getting an NEC DVD burner would be a better route. Wish I had a budget like that. :eek:

True that, I definitly am going to make sure 130% everything is what I want and how I want it before I blow this kindof money. Im not one to waste money, not even a dollar. Its just how I budget.
 
None of them are really bad choices at all. However, what are you doing with both of those drives? If you are planning to run RAID-0 just forget about it. In typical desktop applications it will offer no benefit at all and will significantly reduce reliability.
