Hi guys. I'm would like to buy a Gaming System. I'v made a list of what i would like to buy but i really appreciate if you can help me choice from the list which is the better option. I been thinking to buy a new pc from 2006 so i dont want to wait anymore. As i said, its going to be used primarily for gaming and in second place for copying and decrypting dvds and bitcomet downloads. This is what I'v thought looks good up to now. Let me know what you think, my budget is about U$s 4500.
-CPU: FSB1333 Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 3,00 Ghz 12 Mb
For now, im not going to OC until i really needed.
Another CPU Option is this:
-FSB1333 Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3,16 Ghz 6 Mb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PSU: Two Options:
-CoolerMaster Real power pro 850W 108A Quad Sli
or
-Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
Which is better?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HDD:
-2 Western Digital Caviar RE 250 Gb SATA300 16Mb NCQ in RAID Mode
or
-1 Western Digital Caviar RE2 500 Gb SATA300 16Mb NCQ
Question: RAID Systems are better for Games or il go with the 500Gb?

Memo:
-DDR3 1333 Mhz PC3-10600 SuperTalent 2x1 Gb CL8
