New Build needs optimization
Hey Guys, i'm putting together another PC and I could use some advice. Will I be okay with onboard sound? I also think I need a case with more frontside usb ports any suggestions? Maybe trim the price a bit. Thanks a whole lot everyone.

I would suggest a triple channel RAM kit for the i7 platform. Look at the 3x1GB or 3x2GB kits. The rest of the list looks solid.

You'll want to optimize your new processor with a triple channel kit like this one...

Exactly how are you planning on using four 1TB drives? If you are planning on RAID, you have a 2TB array size limit unless you use GPT, which is *NOT* bootable.

As long as you keep the RAID to 2TB or less, no problem.
