GVX. I guess I didnt make it clear enough that I only have about 1000 to spend on parts and thats my fault. And thus, the best bang for my buck for having 1000$ to spend, is to get a flagship graphics card, being either the r520 or the 7800. Keep in mind, nearly every new core adds AT LEAST...

The x850xtpe is 350. They tested raid 0 on raptors and determined it a waste of money at anandtech.
Really im just tired of waiting for "the next cool thing" thats comming out. What ram should I get instead?
The only thing this machine will be used for is gaming, gaming, and more gaming. I will not be overclocking very much at all.
