I posted a thread similar to this one only with a few different parts over at SteamPowered.com, but I figured I would get more professional opinions. Do you think all of this is a good comp and will all work PERFECTLY? Keep in mind I do NOT plan on overclocking at all. Thanks!

All comments are appreciated. Thanks.
Also, I have a question about IDE and SATA drives. Is it possible to have one drive running in SATA mode and one in IDE? This is because I will be using 4 of the 4 devices supported by the motherboard if I do it this way (2 CD/DVD-ROM, 2 hard drives). I have no idea how all this stuff works, lol.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it. I don't want to be spending so much money and not get what I want!
PS. I don't believe I am forgetting anything, but if I am I will take suggestions. I have been thinking about getting a new heatsink and fan for it, as well as some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. Just tell me if I am missing something!

You will need to get 2 raptors and raid them together... Next lose that CPU! They are way to pricy and not worth it!!! Just buy a AMD 4000
Next I would go to frys outpost and get 2 ultras instead since they can be bought for 350 instead of that 430 from new egg for the Gts
I get data bursts at 192MB's
windows loads in 4 seconds and yea... They are noisy! But thats why I said get a good case, a case isnt all about looks. YOu have to understand that there about noies blocking... like gromets on the hard drives and air intake filters... triple layered doors and sound mats... thermal zones and wire managment... Yes I have a pasion for cases....
