Final Spec Check

djcj · 5 Jul 2007 at 18:56

I'm wanting a few extra opinions on this spec before i purchase tomorrow. I only need the base unit, already have xp & vista, moniter, speakers, mouse, keyboard, sound card. I also already have 3 x 320GB 7200.10 seagate drives for storage so i'm buying the raptor for os drive only. I did toy with the idea of just buying another seagate and using raid but i've definately decided on the raptor.

Any thoughts on the rest of it? Room for improvement?

Edit: Hoping to overclock the quadcore up to 3GHz

Looks ok, might want to change the GPU to the 8800GTX though.

Cant really justify the extra cash for the GTX, the hd2900 should be fine at the max res i'll be playing at 1680x1050

All looks good to me, though you might want to change the RAM to the Crucial Ballistix.

running 4 drives in raid0 will be faster than the raptor m8 btw
