Wasnt sure about the mobo but the features of the P45 are better for a single card like the R700 than the X48.Anyone have any advice or opinion on my build reply.Thanks

The 1066 RAM has some issues just get 800 you won't even notice the difference in Mhz with DDR2. Oh and why such a small monitor? You want at least a 28"

CPU/case/cooler/HDD/monitor/OS/PSU/RAM - good.
Add a WD6400AAKS or two for storage.
I doubt you really need 8 GB of RAM for gaming.

I would not spend $281 on a P45, with perfectly good X48 MBs at $225 (P5E Deluxe, GA-X48-DS4).
If you're thinking of a single HD 4870X2 card then the motherboard could be $200 less (GA-EP43-DS3L) or $150 less (P5Q Pro).

How about P5E Deluxe and two HD 4870 cards? The PSU is great for that too, and this combo would be a bit faster than a HD 4870X2.

I agree with the above 2 posters.

Why build a computer for a game that has yet to be released, and wont be for a few more months (optimistically).

I remember when a bunch of people built new computers for AoC and then hated the game, that was a good one.

thinking of replaceing the velociraptor with a 6400aks but the load times in mmorpgs may be worth it getting the velociraptor.Kind of wanted to have 1 single drive cause i didnt want much blocking the antec front fans.And I kinda like the features the maximus 2 offers and it looks pretty ,dun ya think?

And that game will probly come out mid september.Starting up the open beta real soon.

I thought load times in mmorpgs depended on the speed of your Internet connection. I may be wrong, of course. Are you sure a Velociraptor would make a difference? It would be really annoying if you spent all that money without any serious benefit. Do some research and let us know, OK?

Man, a motherboard sits in a dark box while you look at the monitor. It doesn't have to be pretty...

you don't need a bigger monitor but i suggest getting one with a faster response time like 2ms

wait a min lower ms is better?

Yes. Look for something with 2 ms or 5 ms.

If your interested in a 24in Monitor with 2ms response this is the one I am using and so far its been great.
