I have a couple of questions.
First, is everything there compatible? And do the components look good for a gaming rig?
Is the processor a good buy?
I also dont know alot about harddrives. I chose a bigger slower one for everyday files and a fast one that would have Windows and gaming files. Is this a good decision? Also, ive heard of RAID. What does that mean and are these compatible?
Finally, i know i am going to need extra cables and other things to make everthing go. Could you guys tell me what extra stuff i need thats not on that list?
