The LED fans are for the top of my watercooler radiator to make it look cool, and the Vantec fans arent medicore from what I heard, they push 84 cfms of air each.
The Vantec fans are obscenely loud, of mediocre QUALITY, and still overpriced even if you actually needed that much airflow per fan. You don't need that much airflow per fan, though, and it will not have a significant effect on anything except your blood pressure and wallet. And why are you getting so many fans if you're water-cooling?
LED fans look garish to me, and you're paying extra for lights and lower quality, but it's your call. I guess looks are subjective.
I saw a review for that PSU on
http://www.gruntville.com and it said that it was the most stable PSU that he had reviewed, although ill look into the other PSU's that u suggested.
First thing: PSU reviews on mod sites are generally awful. The authors assume that a PSU that looks shiny and doesn't blow up must be great.
Sorry, that came out kind of spiteful. Seriously, though, reviews mean diddly squat. You don't need 680W of power for your system, you don't need to waste that much money on an overpriced ThermalTake unit that delivers average-quality power (nowhere near 680W of it, either).
From the reviews on newegg, they said that it was a "TRUE 5.1" headset with 4 actual speakers in each earcup, not simulated 5.1, but hey, ill look into the senheissers too. The platinum im getting for the optical out for my reciever and for the baybus cause I want to plug my guitar into my computer.
"True 5.1" is utter and total BS for headsets. 4 actual transducers in each cup is actually WORSE than one transducer per cup with surround sound processing. You see, headsets aren't like speakers, where each speaker is a source of sound affected by the area around it. There's nothing at all between the transducer and the ear with headphones, so you can play any kind of tricks with the transducers to replicate all-around noise. If you don't believe me, do a forum search for "binaural".
Do you plan on doing a lot of recording? If so, you might actually want to look at another or a different sound card.. Creative's Audigy line is really only good for gaming, tbh. There are also better choices for optical out, but I suppose if you want an A2ZS that's about that.
The features on the board I really need, hell i picked this board cause it came with the TV tuner cause i split the signal from my parents box. I need the sata II b/c im building a raid array with the WD sata II drives for all of my movies and multimedia, plus the 955x chipset is optimized for the dualcores from what ive heard.
You don't need a $300 board to get SATA-II. If you want a TV tuner, get a high-quality third-party one. There are many excellent reasonably-priced options out there, and they're probably cheaper and better and integrated.
It would give you much better performance. The lower latency RAM will do very little for performance.
