Hi guys, I plan on purchasing a computer from CyberPower, Inc - building the best Gaming PC is not only our profession, it is our obsession.
I have about $2900 or so to spend, thats with shipping and CA sales tax (expensive =/) This is a gaming PC that hopefully will last me awhile. I allready have a monitor,speakers and soundcard so don't need those. I heard it's hard to install windows xp on raid0, so i'm having them do it. I'm not sure on the PSU, if I install windows xp myself and save $89. I can get ASPIRE (BLACK) ATX-AS680W-BK 680W BEAST POWER ATX POWER SUPPLY for an extra $40 or i can get ANTEC TPII-550 550WATT ATX 12V POWER SUPPLY for extra $45
Or I can downground the motherboard to a ABIT KN9 SLI nForce 570 SLI MCP Chipset DDR2/800 SATA-II RAID 16x PCI-Express MBoard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio and save $45, and use $40 for that PSU (if it's good) and still get windows xp.
The price for below is $3,010.48 with sales tax and shipping. But i'll get a 5% instant rebate which comes out to 2874.43.
Well here is the specs that I plan on getting. Any comments or help would be great. Thanks
