for one, in intended to quote drvarunmehta about raid comment.

Why does a gaming rig need data security? For ordinary users backing up to an external HDD or DVD's is far better than setting up RAID 1.
That is a matter of personal preference, and I agree to your point.
I suggested raid 1 because both raid 1 and raid 0 will increase performance in gaming, but considered Raid 0 to be a big risk considering he will you integrated raid controllers. views may vary. I will myself be using Raid 1 to increase "gaming" performance.

about the graphics card comment. well when you play at high resolutions and eye candy, there is more graphics to be processed, and hence the frame deciding thing is graphics card, but at low resolutions, the graphics card will process the frames very faster, now it only depends on how fast the CPU can process the physics and all. Well if u have seen enough benchmarks yo will notice that when for higher processors and high resolutions all processors have identical frame rates, and they reduce the resolution to differentiate between processors, similarly for high end graphics cards when he test setup includes not so powerful processors, the difference is visible only on very high resolutions. With increasing physics in the games, it is becoming hard for the processors. Now if he gets a 19" monitor, he can play games at resolutions only what monitor supports, not higher than that. So what i said is purely logical, I did not care to explain because I figured you'd understand.
But all our comments are useless as the original poster has not posted since his first post, so no point arguing.
