I am trying to build my own computer and I am interested in your opinions on what I have so far right now. I need your opinions, this is what I am going to build. I know everything is compatible and...

Technically if I have my say, I'd choose AMD, although my uncommon a** always chooses the dumb ones. Pentium has their good ones, but I have yet to see the performance of the P4 3.6GHz Extreme...

ALIENWARE :)

Hmmmmmmmm, thats a real kick in the ass(ets)

Alright, I'll switch, but darn this is going to be so cool. I may not, because I need as much room as I can, I have lots of games and software.

Imma set it to RAID 1, backup is so fun. :D

So is a RAID card at all any good for this PC. Don't forget I am using it for both gaming AND media. What would the RAID card do and what are the modes?

Why do you say that? 'Em, what would you say about adding a RAID card set to 0 and 3 there Catweazle, also, how you like my new, LARGER name. I just donated and subscribed to the forums, I may stay...

Yes, I already have the P4 motherboard for it on order, or hold, idk, which ever you call it.

'Em, let me show you what I have first, dont boo me, but its an Intel Processor, until later when I get me an AMD, da** its gonna suck changing to an AMD processor and using a AMD usable motherboard.

lol, okay, I got my system picked out already. I'll post the reply in the Hardware section soon and we can make changes and whatever. The total for right now to build this gaming system is only...

oh shoot me :surprised:

Yup, thats the darned $600 price, god it makes me wanna cry. :lol:

American wise, cant you realize. Nevermind, you must not get it, lol.

Alrighty, that NVidia 6800GT is like $600+ right?

Hmmmm, thanks for the notes. I'll think about it, what would the total cost be for them 2, and I am planning to get an ATI Radeon 9800Pro if thats any good.

Alright, thanks. 'Em, what would you recommend for an entry-level gamers pc processor. Like, which AMD chip?

Which AMD model is the best:

AMD Sempron
AMD Athlon XP
AMD Athlon 64
AMD Operton

And an AMD 2.0GHz processor would equal out to what speed of Intel, since AMD is more advanced?
