Shake has now upgraded to i7. New Parts: MSI X58 Platinum SLI Motherboard Intel Core i7 920 3 x 2 GB OCZ Gold DDR3-1333 Corsair 750w PSU Old Parts: STILL USING THESE TOO, NOT REPLACING EVGA 9600GT 2 x 400GB WD Caviar HDs in Raid0 1TB Hitachi Deskstar HD Very satisfied with the performance, a big upgrade from that AMD dual core I was using previously. Hopefully when I get more money I'll upgrade to a 4870 and buy some SSDs. ![[image loading]](http://i40.tinypic.com/2ebc1np.jpg)  | ||

But yeah not alot of games use CPU that much... | ||

Also I don't see the point in RAID-0, really. That's like begging to lose your data. | ||

Later I'm considering crossfiring a pair of 4870s, which is why I chose a power supply at that size. Plus it was on sale. I use the raid 0 drives for basically just programs and the os, I have everything else backed up anyway, and have yet to have a drive fail on me. | ||
