Default Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

hey guys... i had a corrupted HD a few weeks ago, and since getting my PC back from the shop, it hasn't been the same. i've got a little bit of extra cash, and it's been almost 3 years since i got this computer... so i'm considering buying a new tower.

i took the design based off of the earlier posted specs from newegg, although i went to cyberpowerpc directly. main differences are the dual-vid cards, little upgrade to tower, motherboard, warranty. price is almost 400 more though.

thoughts on the build... on whether everything will work together... on enough power/cooling for the whatnot. also, there was no option to RAID-0 the 2 1TB HDs... only option was for 2 250GB HDs, and that just isn't enough memory for me.



i can also sell my current tower for probably a nice piece of change, so that'll recoup some of the output. (i was thinking 800-1000?).

so, thoughts and advice?
