New Gaming Rig - i7 of course :)


Recommended Posts

Here's the config I'm probably going with:

 

Intel Core i7 940

Asus P6T Deluxe

TR3X6G1600C8D (probably get the fan when it comes out)

HX1000W

2 Western Digital Raptors for boot

Raid 5 config of a couple of 1TB or 1.5TB drives

 

Raid 5 I believe is only used with a minimum of 3 drives and has no real advantage unless your using 4+ drives as you loose too much space one drive is used as a reigster so

 

3 X 1TB drives Raid 5 = 2TB storage

4 X 1TB drives Raid 5 = 3TB storage

 

and so on.

 

Best wishes on your build :laughing:

Thanks, but it's already done :) Read the whole thread for the overall process, and of course, pics!
