Couple of questions -

Power supply good enough?
Ive heard there is a new GPU coming out (today?) Will this drop the prices of the other cards?
Whats the difference between the DS 4 and 3?
Im going to raid the 2 raptors (raid0 performance) Theres not issues with this is there?
The 1950XT... Worth getting or go for Nvid? ill be playing at 1280*1024 and maybe 1600*1200 when i get my new monitor.

Any advise will be apprieciated.

Usual

edit. forgot a Q..

The E6600. I would like to run it a 3 ghz. Is this quite easy to reach. Would i need a AM heatsink and fan? Also.. is it really safe to run such a high OC perminatly?

Ok might knock the raptors on the head. Im upgrading from :-

p4c 2.8
asus 9800 XT
1 gig corsair ram
P4800C deluxe MB

Should i see quite a large improvement or would i be worth waiting a bit longer?
 
Another Question..

I have 2 160 SATA drives that are going to be raided.

I want to get another SATA drive (400gig) and a SATA DVD-RW.. Theres not problem connecting these up to the MB.. and it wont interfere with the raid will it?
