seriously... are you really going to have 2 terrabytes+ of used space? thats ludacris [/b][/quote] I have over 7+ linux distros on my comp at a time so yeah I will.
Now your talking... All I have is: Excalibur 128mb video card; AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 512 mb RAM and lots of room for improvement! I want to get: Graphics Card: 7800 gtx Processor: AMD Athlon 64 Dual Speaker Setup: 5.1 Surrund Sound will suffice, with Logitech's Z series speakers. Mobo: The fastest I can get Case: I'm not sure, so many cool things out there...
DFi is a lot better than Msi.... if your going cheap get a 7800 GT, x-2 4400, dfi lanparty sli board, and logitech speakers, and some good creative sound card.
If you want a reliable & stable mobo, go with the Asus mobo. Talking about upgrades I'm planning to add another Gig of memory & a new video card. Also, maybe adding the watercooling system that I've benn saving up for before next summer.
you might want to put RAID on your main hardrive, it IS the one which will be doing most of the work, trust me, two of those RAID0-ed would be better than on of those and 4 other HDs. I am serious, ditch on or two of the secondary HD for another one of those 1500RPM HDs. besides, one terabit HDs are supposed to be on the market within a year so storage shouldn't be an issue EDIT: just to piss you off... within 5 years, that computer will be degraded to about 600$ think about it, you will only have what is considered normal and you won't be able to upgrade. IMO you'd be much better off spending half now and half in a few years, computers grow so fast it isn't funny.
Looks like a Bunch of Rich prinks to me.... im spending 750 on.....

No no, Do not get an ASUS motherboard. The current generation have fan issues, little overclock support and they are overpriced for their features list in comparison to an MSI or a DFI.
