[QUOTE="bumpin buick, post: 4485709, member: 578001"] Sorry if this is kind of a noob question but I am still very much learning as this is my first computer build. Wouldnt it be safer though to go with two 500gb HDDs and run them in raid 0 then running a single TB HDD, please explain to me how that would be safer. Also if need be I can go over budget a bit I got a raise this week and can get any software I need free from work so they will provide me with Vista or XP 64 so that would save $100 right there. As far as motherboards go I want something that will allow for more upgrades in the future so I need it to have a few extra ports, the one you listed, does that have a bit of extra room for when I may need it? Also for something like the graphics card if its only like an extra $50 or something to get something like the 8800 I wouldnt mind I can throw in an hour or two of overtime to afford the extra luxuries if need be.
