So I am going to build this amazing gaming computer for someone who demands the fastest computer possible because he is a gamer and he trusts me to not up the price like everyone else around here.
I have a lot of experience with computers but not really with the higher end stuff. I went on Newegg and got everything top-of-the-line and just want to make 100% positive that im not going to waste my time or his money.
By that I mean a couple questions...
Generally are these parts compatible and work well together?
are they even good parts at all or would you suggest something better?
Will the video card work with 3 way SLI?
is it too big to fit?
If it will work, will the SLI be ready to install with all of the needed parts, right out of the motherboard box?
Will the power supply support three way sli and will it allow all of the cables needed to get that working?
Will using 3 way SLI render that pci slot (the longer black one) in the middle of the 3 PCI express 2.0 slots (the red ones) useless?
Do you need to use water cooling with that case or is it just an extra feature?
Will this motherbaord allow me to use RAID 0 for the OS with 2 of the 10k RPM hard drives Im getting?
Is it better to use RAID with a PCI card or the motherboard?
Is there anything extra you have to do for RAID (IE with the pci raid cards you have to plug in certain chords for each hard drive and install drivers) when using the motherboard or will it just work out of the box?
is the ram too fast for the motherboard?
PLEASE HELP IT WILL HELP ME OUT SO MUCH! THIS IS STRESSFUL!
