   Hey guys this is the setup that i will be ordering in a few days and just wanted to put it up to let you guys look at it and say if i should change anything or whatnot. What i plan on doing on this computer is playing games like crysis, oblivion, and stuff like that, and movie making/editing because i do make alot of movies with my friends. A question that i have for the DS people is can you overclock my cpu to 3.0Ghz ? i read that Kelly stated 2.7-3.0 is as far as you guys will overclock so just wondering if it will be 3.0Ghz or if i would need to call or something.

	What kind of budget do you have? I.e. do you have room in your budget to add things or would you need to adjust items to keep around the same price. Depending on the above answer you may want to consider a Raptor for your Boot drive and the 500 Gb for your data storage (movies) Another option would be to do a Raid 0 with two 500 Gb, that will give you the speed of the raptor but more disk space. But the risk is that if one of the drives fails you loose everything on both drives. (I have 2x500GB Raid 0) If budget is a concern you could drop to the 8800GTX and put the savings into the HDs as there is not a huge difference between the 8800GTX and the Ultra. The 850W PSU is fine and will be able to handle adding a second graphics card in SLI in the future. As for the 2.7-3.0 Overclock. It will depend on the componants. Since you are using Liquid cooling and 1066 MHz RAM and the Extreme case you should get closer to the 3.0, but they will not guarantee that you will get the 3.0. (I have Stage 3 cooling, 800 MHz RAM and the PRO case and only got a 2.7 OC) Edited by gdhart - 18 Oct 2007 at 10:00pm

	Your build will crush Crysis' recommended specs. You have some parts that are better than what I have, and here's how mine rates for Crysis at Yougamers.com
