new rig and total setup rate plz?

just got 90% of the parts, good or do i suck?

e8500

4870x2

4gb crucial ballistix (the one with leds)

corsair tx750

silverstone tj07

ep45 extreme

viewsonic 28"

2x W.D. 750gb hd's

logitech g9

razer lycosa

razer barracuda heaphones

razer barracuda sound card

logitech z5500's (two sets)

logitech g25 (steering wheel thingy)

Switch the G9 for something else, i've heard they're awkwed, personally i like my copperhead but as you're going high end how about a Lacheis and get a mouse mat to go with it too.

Get samller hard drives and a backup drive so you can RAID0 without worry.

You'll also need an optical druive, how about a blu-ray to make good use of theat 28" monitor?

You could save some money, get a smaller monitor or just one set of Z5500s (why do you need 2?), and get some nice quite cooling, upgrade the fans to Noctua'sand get a thermalright cooler for your processor and you could look in to one for your graphics card. The sound of your pc fans will spoil the movie experiance that those speakers and monitor will give anyway.

Nic setup for sure but if you were investing good amount of money, why you didnt go with Quad CPU ?? Its more future-proof and with such setup, you wnt need to upgrade till long timeSearchMaster

higher speed duals run current games better as modern games arn't optimized for quads

nah ive played with the g9 for hours and its quite nice but a mate might be able to get me a lachesis for free as he is spnsored by razer :>. and im not gonna ruin my 370 dollar case with some **** drive hanging out of it lol. ima get 2 red led fans in the first 6 bays and a zalman fan controller in the 7th.

and funnily enough i already have one set of z5500s but im gonna get another for the lols and im hoping to get a samsung 305t 30 incher :> crysis @ 2560 yes plz

no point in quad for me atm, all i want is games and duals are better atm.rikjiallen

You can still get top brand if you want but when you get a virus or your RAID array fails you'll wish you'ld bought that backup drive.

You'll still need an optical drive of some sort, how are you gonna load up your games and play crysis without one?

LED fans may sound like a good idea but you'll get sick of them soon enough as they don't push a huge amount of air through and arn't that quite either. I didn't think you were gettin a windowed one either... Though as thermalright coolers don't come with any fans standard you could always add these red LED fans if you wanted

A good mousemat is useful with any mouse.

Why would you want a screen that big for gaming? The only reason i'ld ever connect a screen that big would be to show movies to friends that i might have saved on my HDD or recorded TV if i had a tuner in it. If i were you i'ld save the money and go for a 24" tops, thenspend the money saved on a nice desk, chair and better cooling.
