Goals with this PC:
  • I don't want to have to buy a new computer in 2 years because I can't play the games, all of my PC's have been 4+ year upgrades (although highly outdated by that time).
    I want to be able to run at least 6 bots on WoW when I am not using the PC.
    I want to be able to dual boot TinyXP 32 bit & Vista 64 bit at the same time.

I've added several choices to get opinions about what I should do to meet my goals in this wish list, as well as compatabillity checks.. Some are obviously more pricey than others, but I'm not really concerned about the price, as the overall happiness with the computer and what I am able to accomplish with it.

:donno: @ the motherboard, I'm tired and will have to look at this more when I am off of work.

1 TB is over kill.
24'' monitor is stupid, get a 20.1 for like 150 or something.
Razer for mouse.
G-15 for keyboard.
I got the upgrade of the speakers you selected. I love them
950 W is about 984569856 times over kill
Antec is the best case out there. I got it, mac does and alot of other ppl I know. 0 complaints.

It's either the LG 24" Widescreen or the same one that you and I already have.

So how much power then?

Lots & lots of WoW... SC2, D3, OfC

im a huge faggot, much cheaper, and well, longer.

Do you really keep the movies on your HD? All that does is slow it down when you're gaming.
Ever wonder why an empty HD is better at running games than one full of shit?
Music, do you really need over 100 GB for that? I think a 320 or 500 would do fine for you. 1 TB is over kill, plus if you really want 1 TB, get 2-4 differet smaller ones. That way if one fails you still have the others, while if that one TB fails you loose everything. D/w there's room in the antec.
Just keep what you have now and get a big ass TV with HDMI support, plug it up to your PC and watch movies on there. That's what I do. I play gmaes on it too if I feel like it, 99% of the time I don't.
As for power, I dont remember how to think of the watts for it.
Ask Trae on jsp....nvm you're banned.
Maybe mac can help.

Case doesn't matter at all as long it it's big enough to hold your hardware and has good airflow/enough fans.

I have a slave computer that I keep movies/music on, and an external harddrive to put more stuff on if needed

And it works well

When you have a upload/download of 6 GB for 5 USD a month...
But still, why even keep the movies?
Just burn them onto dvds.

got a friend that bought a 2-quad system with 4gb ram (vista 64); worth it but not as fast as I expected

perhaps it was vista slowing it down
