So I felt like I should post my configuration and any suggestions are welcome:

Case: CoolMaster 830 S

Power Supply: 1000W OCZ (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible)
 (Model: ST1000) (Silent)

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz (1333MHz FSB) (12MB Cache)

Motherboard: nVidia 790i Ultra Core 2 Quad
(nForce 790i Ultra SLI) (DDR3 Only)

Memory: 4GB DDR3 Corsair at 1333MHz

Floppy / Card: Digital Media Card Reader (Black)

*Hard Drive 1: - 300 GB 3.0 Gbps SATA Western Digital Velociraptor X <- *Vista 64 bit
*Hard Drive 2: - 150 GB 1.5 Gbps SATA Western Digital Raptor X {RAID 0}
*Hard Drive 3: - 150 GB 1.5 Gbps SATA Western Digital Raptor X {RAID 0}
*Hard Drive 4: - 320 GB 3.0 Gbps SATA Western Digital <- Multimedia Drive
*Hard Drive 5: - 500 GB 3.0 Gbps SATA Western Digital <- Ubuntu Linux

Optical Drive 1: BLU-RAY/DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW (Blu-Ray 4x / DVD Writer 18x / CD-Writer 48x)

Network Card: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)

Video Card: EVGA nVidia GeForce 9800GX2 1GB

*TV Tuner: - DVICO PCI HD tuner 2.0

Sound Card: Motherboard Multi-Channel High Definition Audio

(Copper Heatpipe Heatsink & Zalman Case Fans)

Case Lighting: Blizzard Internal Lighting (Blue Edition)

(Cold Cathode Tubes)

Round Cables: Enhanced Interior Air Flow

(Optical Drive & Floppy Cables (Black Cables)

Now Everything with an * (asterisk) is what I am installing myself.

My Request for everyone else that can afford to get a Velociraptor drive.. should...right now that drive is as fast as my RAID 0 Raptor drives.

Plus it is 300 dollars with is equal to paying $1 for every GigaByte.

I do have one question... Should I purchase another 9800GX2 or should I wait for another nextgen card to be released by Nvidia / ATI?

You can always use the Step-Up program to upgrade to the GTX 260 or 280.

The next cards by Nvidia & ATI are scheduled for release in the week of June 16th.
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.
