BTW the Raptor drives are a waste of money and so is the DDR3 ram. If you are gaming you might also want to do with an E8400 over a Q9450 because games depend on two cores, not three and four. They also depend on high clock speed, something the E8400 beats the Q9450 at. Plus you can overclock the E8400 past 4ghz.

You would also want to drop the ATI cards and pick up one 9800GX2, that outperforms SLI HD3870's by a big margin.
well. you know more than me about these things but how?

how do you know to make a $1500 pc thats as good as a $5000 one from Dell?!

and how is a person like me to know the difference between Q9450 and E8400?

and lastly, why would a 10K RPM HD be worse than 7.2K?
