My last system I built was a P4 1.8 (OCed to 2.5 ghz), 512 RAM, geforce 4ti4200. I think its time to upgrade :D

Here is what I am looking at. I plan on doing quite a bit of gaming and will OC her as for as she can go.

So i will be doing RAID 0 for the HDs, should be fast.

Only thing I wonder is if I should go for 4 GB of RAM (2gb x 2 sticks). If i dont plan on upgrading for a long time it could be handy.

Thats one good looking system you got there.

I would just go with 2GB RAM that would do for now. 4GB is a little too much unless you will be going with Windows Vista but 2GB will run pretty well on vista as well.

Just get a Creative sound card than that CHAINTECH because to tell you the truth I never had a CHAINTECH soundcard before.

Sir, that is fine system you have put together there. But, I do have to ask you and anyone else who reads this, please, do not double space each component entry and include the part number, OEM/Retail, and every other minute specification that goes along with it.
