I just wanna ask, why are you getting the ROG motherboard? Do you have plans to OC heavily? If so, you can do the same clocks on the bloodrage, and save some money. Also I'd recommend getting a i7 920 D0 stepping, as they overclock further on less volts.
If your not planning to OC, then I'd go for a gigabyte x58 board. They still get decent clocks, but gigabyte boards are VERY stable and durable IMO.
Also might check into aftermarket cooler if your planning to OC.
Next I want to add that the 74Gb raptor isn't all the fast compared to modern drives. A western digital or seagate 640BGb drives perform as good, if not better, not to mention they offer LOTS more storage room.
And my last suggestion, I'd probably go for a XFX or EVGA card. They offer better warranties should anything go wrong. Not to mention they will probably come with a free game. 
Welcome to TechIMO btw.  |
