My mom wanted to order today but i wanted to make sure everything will work 2ghther.
Will everything work 2gther?
Is there anything u would change?
 
Everything you have their looks like a seriously darn good. You'll have a very solid, fast, and capable gaming rig for quite some time. Only thing I would change would possibly be the Audigy 4 to an X-Fi Extreme Music and even thought MX518 is very capable, you might like the feel and response of the G5.

I agree. Also, I'd get some cheaper ram, like the g.skill ddr2-800 2gb kit for under $220 (theres a couple), or the ocz plats rev2 ddr2-800 2gb kit for $220ar.
 
Ditch the Audigy 4, go X-Fi. Also, drop another drive in for RAID 0. Otherwise, you're doing good. If you plan to OC, get a good aftermarket HSF unit, DO NOT use retail one.

I was going to suggest the BenQ 20.1 WS model over the viewsonic, simply based on price...that'd get you the upgrade to the X-Fi, and that extra drive in the cost savings on the monitor.

...damn, i've seen some ugly cases, but good lord...
 
Stick with the E6300. G.Skill sticks are listed as 1.8v-2.0v so you know they'll post at 1.8v. You'll have to adjust the voltage and timings for best results. They're the best value at their current price. I dont care too much for newegg user reviews, lol.

The case is butt ugly. Don't dispair, it's a personal preference, not a personal affront. The sound card that you linked is an excellend choice, and well worth the $20 difference.
RAID0 is 2 hard drives (preferrably the same drives, model, etc) operating in tandem to speed the data transfers that come from the hard drive. It will decrease load times, and increase transfer rates. However, it will slow the seek times.

i only plan on ocing the processor, and that wont be for a while

you rly think my case is ugly? :(

how about this soundcard?

And idk what raid 0 is? :(

should i also get the Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz or stick with e6300?

You can change the ram voltage in the BIOS... its usually labeled VDIMM.
 
raptors arent worth their price premium, imho (as an owner of the WD1500ADFD).

Yeah don't listen to them, lesson learned.

I would have to agree with enginurd again about the raptors as an owner of a 74gb westerndigital

BTW that benq is a great monitor, highly recommended.

As far as warrenty goes imo eVGA is the best.

I don't like the case, but you have to make it how YOU like it. It's your pc and you are buying the parts, you can choose to listen or not listen to all of the advice we are giving you. (=
 
ive listened to all the adive except the case and hard drive, go the harddrive from anandtech

ok, i want to order tomarrow am i good now?
 
Its back in stock!!! gogogo!!! you'll need the fw update so it can read dvds faster. If you go with the samsung model, make sure they have a fw update.

nice case!
