I mean. It wasn't really that expensive. I knew i wanted a high end machine. So i budgeted between $1500 and $2000. I think i would have preferred to go with the lower end, but when your in the midst of building it, sometimes you gotta change some things. For instance, i changed my raid arrays around a bunch from what i had planned to what i ended up with. It sucked as i kept adding more and more to it. I originally planned to have 4 drives,( 2 raid 1s.) i ended up with 6 drives (one raid 1 and one raid 5), the video card i wanted ending up going out of stock. So i bought the one i have. I don't play games on a PC anymore..this build is more for bragging rights. All games i play are on the PS3.

Heres my specs.

Lian Li PC-B25
Intel Core i7 920
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
OCZ Gold 12GB DDR3
EVGA 9800 GTX+
2 X WD 500 GB Black Cavier (RAID 1)
4 X Seagate Barracuda 1TB (RAID 5)
Seasonic 850 watt SS-850HT
plextor dvd rw
3.5" media card reader thing
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Logitech G5 & Saitek Eclipse RED
Dual Dell 2408 WFP

i already had the keyboard and monitor from my old computer as well as the dual 24 inchers. So those costs aren't part of this build.

Also just cause i decided to list the guns i have too. I pretty much copied and pasted this stuff from my profile on the hardforum.com

Glock 22, .40 s&w

CMMG M4 LEP II .223 with EOTECH 512.A65/1

Mossberg 500 Tactical Mariner, 12 GA
