My new system, how is it?

[Elkoger]

Hello Fine people

This is my first post here.
The reason why I post this is that im going 2 get a completely new system.


Short info: The Conroe is going 2 be clocked on a later time, and then i will buy a better cooler. And the reason for the same harddrives are because i want them 2 run in RAID.

The questions is:

1. Do you have any advice about changing hardware. fx. how can i get more performance, and so on?

2. Do the parts fit together?

3. Whats the - and + about the system?

I hope u will help me - Thx in advance

For the most part the system looks fine. If you read the article on the hitachi 1TB drives, you'll see RAID has no signifigant performance gains in games. I'd say change them out for a nice large capacity drive. Also look for the P182 instead of the p180, as the 182 has better cable management abilities w/o modding. You might consider changing the graphics card to the EVGA just to have the step up program if the 8900's come out in the next 3 months. And lastly, on board sound is for the most part good enough for most gamers, and you could pick it up at a later time if you weren't happy with it and get your CPU cooler (either the themalright ultra 120 or a tuniq tower).
