I been trying to get my gaming system built. Money is in the bank.... stupid Florida Hurricanes. Anyway I just want to do 1 last check with everyone. Is all this compatable... with the x64 and with eachother? Recommending a PSU will also be helpful, thanks.


OPERATING SYSTEM:
Windows x64

CPU/PROCESSOR:
AMD X2 4400

MOTHERBOARD:
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD

CASE:
Thermaltake XASER Armor Series VA8000BWS Black w/ Clear Side

MEMORY:
2 x 1GB (2GB) DDR PC3200 Timing 2-2-2-5

HARD DRIVE:
2 x 74GB/10,000RPM

VIDEO CARD:
Nvidia 7800GTX

SOUND CARD:
Creative Labs Audigy Pro 4

CD / DVD DRIVES:
2 x Lite-On CD/DVD RW +/- (1, Dual Layer)

KEYBOARD/MOUSE:
Logitech MX3100 Combo (MX3100 Keyboard/MX1000 Mouse)
 
i like it
but i would say axe one of those 10k hard drives in favor of a 7200 with mega volume

load your games on the 10k and other crap on the 72
 
I thought when you RAID them that it takes the RPM of the lower one.... so they'll both be 7200.

Also, im not a good searcher. Can someone post links of
2 x 1GB RAM with timing 2-2-2-5 Thanks.
 
Everything will work but theres lots of money that can be saved without sacrificing performance:
1. AMD chips have never been cache-bound so you might as well save $100+ and get the 4200 which runs at the same clock speed
2. at what Vdimm us the RAM getting those timings at?
3. for a gaming system -- which uses random drive access -- you wont notice a performance difference from the raptors (RAID or otherwise) -- which benifit from sequential access... you're better off scoring 300gb drives with 16mb cache for 90Usd (see tigerdirect) with virtually the same performance and in some cases, better performance
4. Audigy4 is a nice card but the only difference between the Audigy2 ZS and the Audigy4pro is 2db snr -- something that most people wont notice (not to mention most speakers arent of that calibre)
5. liteon makes awesome CD burners so i reccomend them handsdown however their DVD burners arent nearly as great - in fact, everything after the 1673s isnt that great (and anything prior to that is... old). you're probably going to be better off with a pioneer110 or nec3540a
6. for PSU reccomendation, see PSU 101.
 
Its not completely 100% gaming, so thats why I split up 2 HDs, and there both 10K RPM because I thought you cant mix RPMs, or they will both run off of the lower one.

Also for the 4400 Cache thing, I dont know much about that... but I dont mind the 100ish price increase if im getting double the cache. Let me know, thanks.
