Gaming Build

depending on what games you play all you might need is a 470 for a lower price, but as far as your build goes before I change the things that needs to be changed around, why the raid on 160GB? a single one would will be more then plenty for your use.

well if you think that you need more room teh go ahead with raid, the corsair 256 is not as fast but still its very fast, so maybe that might be a single hdd solution, but is upto you, just to give you an idea of price difference:

Here you go Ticket# 395617 --- Price: $3055 (To see this build click here) Price after current promotion $3055

based on your build, this is what you want, if you still want the intel raid then you have to go ever to balckops, then the price jumps $250 for the same build, then you throw in the raid intel and price will be $3800 (ticket number 395619)

keep in mind the system will give you exact performance but as for ssd speed the corsair is not as fast as the intel, intel is very fast at 4k, but corsair is not slow itself by any means, its one of the top 3 ssds if IMO.
