Any Suggestions on parts to change is appreciated, I don't want a Ge-Force 8800 right now though, so don't even talk about it.

1 thing I'm not sure about right now, is the Motherboard, and the Hard drive..


All prices are in Canadian Dollars.

Pretty good. It's a good motherboard, but as far as the hard drive what aren't you sure about? Were you thinking about getting a raptor?

Good PC.  The 650i chipset mobos are out.  Valuewise, they are awesome.  I think you could probably get one for cheaper than the 965 mobo you are looking at, and I would argue it is better.  The P5b-Deluxe is a great board though.

Raptors are great.  For the same price, however, you can get two 7200 RPM HDs and put them in RAID0.  That will be almost as fast, quieter, and give you a lot more space.

Why?

Its just a Wi-fi adapter built into the motherboard..

So if you have like Headphones or a Cellphone with Bluetooth, you dont have to buy that litle adapter that plugs into a USB port, Isn't it?

I <3 my raptor like none other. I would recommend one, it is a little loud but probably not more so than anything else in that machine.

i would NOT get a raptor unless you can afford 2.

WHATEVER you do: Get a RAID array. 2 identical drives. its not that difficult to set up RAID.

on the mobo: i would get the evga mobo with the nvidia 680i chipset. only $25 more, plenty of shit. BTW: the Wi-Fi does NOT mean the board does not have onboard ethernet...

also: everything listed there can be got for a good $20-50 cheaper on www.newegg.com.

I have the same case. It's pretty nice except for how unnecessary the gauges are.

It lights up my entire room at night though.

just get 2 hd's and have them in raid 0, it'll be faster than a single.
