Greetings,
May I request a spec check please ?
The rig is going to be used for Gaming. I already have a 19" Acer Monitor.
The 2 x Raid 1 Arrays (2 pairs) are going to be Pair 1 (OS & Docs), Pair 2 (Games, MP3, Movies, etc). I'm ok with Raid 1, since I prefer the redundancy over the slight performance of Raid 0 (striped)
4GB of RAM to help Vista fly
Not sure if the RAM is the best for the mobo..would need some advice here please.
I do intend to clock after a month or so.
Other components removed from spec (since they are mostly "bling") include SATA LED cables, LED Fans, Cathode Rays ,etc)
PSU : Originally was going to be the Corsair 520/620 but then realised that it's not modular...
and I like a tidy system.
