Will this all work together? I am really nervous. I am going to Pennsylvania College of Technology for Networking, so I do have a fairly good amount of computer knowledge. The hard-drives will be in a Raid 0 configuration with all the mission-critical information being on a 160gb Hard Drive I have from a previous computer. That Hard Drive will eventually be upgraded to a 10,000rpm drive for faster boot-up. I need this comp to last me for a while. I am a big console gamer and I am looking to break into computer gaming. I am also going to be attending LAN parties, so I definitely need a good looking system to show off with. I intend to use this with a 24inch Dell High Def Display so I hope the Video Card will be good Resolution-wise, which I think it will. Also, the Mobo comes with a sound card. Do you guys(gals) think that will be good enough to start out with or should I go for something better? I am really trying to keep this all under $1800 and will be purchasing everything from Newegg unless anyone knows of a better/cheaper site. Thank you so much for helping me out.
