ill admit it bro u help me alot.. i combined 2 threads i had of stuff that u relied on and mixed stuff up... ill prob order the case and the processor from those 2 site since there alot cheaper.. and dont have to deal with mail in rebates...

also the PSU that daisy posted... ill prob switch mine out with that one...

now one more question ... the hard drives will i have a problem with the Rapter being a ATA150 and the seagate being a SATA

also the mother board... shall i change it?

and the DVD burner why shall i change it to a SATA?
 
DVD burner why shall i change it to a SATA
IDE cable is big. Block airflow.
IMO, I prefer modular PSU than normal one. But the Coolermaster one is in good price...

WD Raptor is SATA
 
so change the WD raptor to SATA and the DVD to SATA...


bleh i dont think the raptors come in SATA... just looked... is that bad?


also the DVD burner .. which do u suggest...

The Raptor and Raptor X are both SATA (I have one of each).

The case, while it looks pretty, is a pain. I don't recommend it. If you stick with it, buy a PSU with extra long cables, or you'll be buying extensions.

Rosewill PSUs are cheap. I would get a better unit, personally.

I'm not thrilled with the RaptorX performance. I would get the WD740 for your main drive. You'll probably find that it outperforms the RaptorX.
