I've tried to catch up on the new parts that came out in the past 4 years - I read a few of the guides here - and came up with a list.
I need a gaming PC for Warhammer (mmorpg) and similar games with similar graphics.
I know the sound sucks, I can't have a sub in my apartment and I don't mind just stereo as long as it doesn't lag.
I don't know how to do RAID, overclocking, or watercooling. But as to RAID - would that speed things up for gaming or is sled just as good?
Anyway - here's the build.
