Gaming computer between 1500-1700$ for a build in late July

[XxuNkNoWnxX]

Hi, I am not exactly the most brightest person when it comes to computers. I know some of the stuff like basics of building a computer, etc. What I need though is a build that I can do at probably the end of July because I will be getting the money around then. Here is some of the things I would like to be included in my build

-CPU: Core i7 930- 200$ i get discounts from a certain place

-Mid Tower case.

- 500gb x2 in Raid 0

- Also, don't include the monitor in the price. If u have recommendations please do, but don't include it in the price.

My main use for this computer will be gaming. ANY help is appreciated!

Yes, MicroCenter is the place for CPUs - and, why RAID0?

Go with RAID1 which is mirroring. In RAID0 (striping) if you lose one disk, you lose ALL data. This will explain quite well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID

Yes, microcenter is great for that. Very weird, but I was actually looking at that motherboard before. It seems great and looks sexy XD great price too. I already got a case as well. Its a decent case, very heavy, but seems effecient enough.

It's a toss between the 2 cases - either one will work fine.

As for the mobo, this is the one I had; worked flawlessly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188039
