My Newest Build!

Hey, I'm about to order a new build, and I just wanted you guys to check everything, just in case there may be a different part you recommend, etc. I know the 4870s are out of stock, but I already have two

Also, my PSU is very long (8.3" ). In my case, I have about 9.3 inches of room for my PSU. It should fit, right?

Thanks!

(Sorry that this is in the CPU category...but there's no other place to put it)

i ditch the dominator

you do not need a fan with that case the zig cooler will cool the ram

The velociraptor will be faster for his system than a pair of raptors in raid - slower sequential, but faster random access for a low queue depth, which is the normal kind of operation for a home computer.

nice choice of video card and run raid 0, specially if you game it would cut loading times of lvls in half!

Ditch the Dominator Memory, You can pic up some Mushkin DDR2 1066, that runs at lower voltage and the same timings for less money. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820146785. Thats the memory I use with my setup, so I can vouch that it will do default timings at 2.0v, and runs fairly cool. In fact with a bit of extra voltage you may even be able to pull off even lower timings with that memory.

I agree with some others on the VelociRaptor, don't get one unless you're gonna run it in RAID, otherwise it's a waste. I agree with others on the cpu HSF.

As far as Mass Effect goes, I'd wait to play it too heavily until they come out with a patch to fix the damned gpf crashes.
