New build planned. Need general advice

[Lebon14]

i figured you were some sort of audio freak what sort of benefits do you get with that sound card that you wouldnt get with the onboard sound? is it mostly just sound quality?

Yep, sound quality is MUCH MUCH better with a separate audio card. On-board audio only offer a "basic" sound. However, only people like me or audio professionals needs those cards. Those cards also professional features that most of us won't probably never use. But, I buy it for the audio quality. It's also one of the reasons that motherboards still have a PCI port these days... not all sound cards has a PCI-Express x1 connection.

For me, it's a good purchase but for others it might be totally useless.

So, I checked the OCZ Vertex 2 Again and it seems to be more expensive than the Agility 2...
Vertex 2 : Newegg.ca - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE90G 2.5" 90GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (219$)
Agility 2 : Newegg.ca - OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE90G 2.5" 90GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (189$)

I don't think that it's worth the extra 30$.

Newegg.ca - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD3-2VTX90G 3.5" 90GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

only difference is that it's a 3.5" form factor

 

[Hopalong X]

That is for the notebook/laptop version.

3.5" 189.99 and $30 rebate.

I didn't forget Windows. I am currently using a retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm transfering this key over to the other. Don't worry. My current Win7 setup will be formated. I won't be breaking Microsoft's EULA.

Your welcome, glad to help.

Vertex 2 is an Excellent choice, especially at the same, or less, price.

This is one very nice system you have purchased.

You are also ahead of the curve, and this machine should last you a good several years if you treat her right.

I'm not cruel.
It took me four weeks to put my order together for this PC and I still forgot something.

You know what I forgot?

Good news guys! Everything has been shipped! I'm all O_O "Holy cow!"
I'll be getting what the case, the monitor and the motherboard and the wosrt next Tuesday because they shipped from Ontario (takes 2-3 business days to reach me). For the US part of the order, I'll have everything by November 1st. I hope

I'll be making another thread in the case mods & overclocking section soon. I have some questions concerning Cable Management so, yeah.

 

[DirtyElf]

that case looks like it will be great with cable management.. be sure to post some close up pictures
