Notes:



1) A solid P-35 motherboard with a proven track record with users is preferred. SLI/Crossfire deemed not needed for casual/normal gamers?



2) Ditch soundcard for a solid 2.1 speaker system with proven record.



3) Fast loading of OS/Games with addition of RaptorIs this a good build for $2193? all the stuff is found on Newegg.com?
The X-Fi is a waste of money considering that your motherboard already has a good sound card built-in and you're getting low quality speakers. I don't see why you need to BUY Windows. Also, the 1kW PSU is sort of overkill even if you're getting SLI.Is this a good build for $2193? all the stuff is found on Newegg.com?
u dont need a 1000w psu, get a hx-620
The case is good. I use it. Get a Western Digital Raptor for your main harddrive and then get a dump drive with whatever HD money you have left over. I agree with person above, you don't need 1000 psu and x-fi is a waste if your going to get weak speakers. Get a normal sound card. Do you need vista 64? Get XP.
