I am going to buy this monster very soon! Looking forward to it, high FPS rate and watching HD films i.e (porn?)

• Chassis: Antec Performance One P182
• PSU: Chill Innovation CP-700M 700W
• RAM: Corsair XMS3 TWIN3X DDR3-1600 6 GB (3x2GB)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P
• CPU: Intel Core i7 920
• Keyboard: Razer Lycosa (Sweetness to a good price)
• HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
• Monitor: Acer H223HQbmid (HD)
• And a Blu-Ray reader ofc!
• GFX Card: GIGABYTE ATI RADEON HD4890

That all looks nice, but a TN panel monitor is skimping on the quality side for such a good PC

Higher quality S-PVA monitors like the HP LP2275W (review - www.bit-tech.net/hardware/monitors/2009/...n-lcd-review/1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) are much much better than the TN panels

I know, but I can't higten the price too much :/ Do you know of a monitor better than mine, and cheaper than yours?

Nice machine.. the 6 gigs os mem can be... too much... but its your money...

It's the future

EDIT:

This HDD I'm buying: www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?...icleId=9126280" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Good think I came across that article...
Should I buy two 500GB HDD's or just one on 1TB? At least, if buying a HDD on 1TB I'll probably have 2 partitions on it.

What do you want? speed or safety?

Speed, buy two 500 and stripe them (vista does this)

Safety, buy two 500 and mirror them on the board controller (vista does not mirrors HD's)

You don't give a shaite, buy 1Tb and thats it

I generally use one HDD for OS/programs and additional ones for userdata/documents. It makes backups much easier. The samsung spinpoint F1 drives appear to be the best in the 500GB-1TB range atm, some very good deals about.

Unless you have about a thousand windows open at once, never close anything and never turn off your PC, you will not notice the difference between 4 and 6GB of RAM. Its always the easiest thing to upgrade later, so dont worry about RAM too much.

I would heavily recommend a good monitor, because it makes so much difference on how you see/interact your PC, if its not great, you will end up regretting it.

Also, remember RAID is in no way a substitute for a backup system.

Not a bad system at all

Its allways better to have your docs on a diff partition/drive that your OS. Myself, I have a 500GB internal for OS, programs and games. And an external 500GB for docs.

Yeah, I have an external HDD on 500 gb, Seagate, allthough it's full of ... things now

I agree with greenie, 4gigs to 6... duh.. you won't notice, believe me, i'm a memory hogger and don't seem to need more than 4 gigs, a reboot in windows is a must, at least once a month I have to reboot the laptop and the pc at home.

I fact, for gaming, a reboot is allways in order before play.

A good screen is really mandatory, is mostly the only part that should sustain a few machine upgrades, at least is the way I think.

Backups backups backups!!!!
