New Build

[Schoolkidd]

Hi,

I want to build a new PC gaming system my budget is $2500

here is what i have so for far

It will also be a complete set

4GB of DDR3 RAM

4x 1 TB Hard drive

Im stuck on what to get as a motherboard and all of the other stuff

If you are planning on using all 4 of those drives an a RAID array, it will not be bootable. You need a separate boot drive for the OS. Why would a gaming system need so much storage?

I know that,

I want to do a dual boot with my system, im having windows 7 and Linux together
and i just want to speatrate all my files so the games will go on one and documents on the other im using it as a continginy

For 2500 you can build a really nice gaming rig.
You can choose either the AMD Phenom II 965 or the Intel I5 series with an Asus motherboard, but what makes a gaming rig shine is the video card, currently the best single GPU video card is the ATI 5870, I recommend you go with an Asus or a Diamond for a video card.
