first fail: DDR5?? (I know, the 5 is right above the 2 on the numPad)

secondly: if you run vista, you are supposed to run Ultimate x64

thirdly: what is "visual memory"? do you mean graphics/video card memory? 1GB is nice, but if you have two ATI Radeon HD 4870x2's.. then that amount seems low, but I am not an avid ATi guy, so i am not sure if a good spec or not (still, 1GB of g/vc mem is good, more importantly, whats the mem-bits?)

final fail (that i feel like picking on atm): *every* system that is currently new is an ACPI setup, as well as having the base x86 instruction set, therefore, your "Computer: ACPI x86" specification is biggest fail for now.

------

preference: not that bright glow of keyboard (could just be camera) but i would prefer a white-light instead of blue.

========

yes, i am jealous. i wish i could drop some cash on a new system (college graduation present, i swear... hmm, i wonder how many execution cores will be on the processors then...) but i r college stew dent, plus car needs some serious works.:(

DDR5 came out the day i builted the PC. As far as i know its a DDR5 i dont know if any mistake was made.

There is no much difference beetween Vistas.

Yes deticated video card memory.It's not low at all.
Computer: I was just saying its a new PC and runs at 86 (32) bits. (Or i would say ACPI x64 thats what i mean if the pc was runnin 64 bits.)
Trust me at night its really freaking bright. But you can always adjust it, there are many settings in the keyboards driver.

Anyways sorry for my bad english, i'm from Greece.

There is quite a difference between the different editions of Vista (besides x86/x64); most gamers want the most control over there system, and if you use Windows Vista, the Ultimate edition gives you that. Currently, I run Vista Business x64. Works for what I want. I do not play many games, nor do I play many DVDs on the computer, so I did not need the Home Premium (has movie codecs built in, Business does not).

AMD/ATi said:
1600 stream processors and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory

Gaming DDR5, I can definitely see; however, system DDR5 is most likely in post-research/development stage, but pre-production (feasibility studies, perhaps). System DDR4 needs to still hit the market... Or that is the current state to my recent knowledge of the market in North America.

all new processors are x64-ish architecture (intel64 or amd64, sparc, ppc, arm may still have a few new 32-bit processors; to name a few). You are limiting your hardware because you are using an x86-based operating system (Vista Home Premium, x86), when you can (and should, in my opinion) use 64-bit (there is a Vista Home Premium, x64 version). It's cool, I did not know how you wanted to present the current xx-bits of the operating system/environment. Most people just state the processor itself:

Instead of ACPI x86, maybe I have a Pentium 4 3.0E (which implies a Prescott core, 800FSB, et cetera)
In my current case, I could say ACPI x64, but that is not very informational except my system supports one of the latest power-saving feature sets, and is 64-bits in operation (generally). I actually have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (2.21GHz/core @ 2 cores, et cetera... I am not to familiar with AMD processors).

Of course, telling the specific processor also implies a certain type of socket (478 for the p4 3.0E, and 939 for the 4200+), which can slightly point to exactly how old the processor is (as you claim new, and surely the price agrees :thumbup) but also what type of memory that it supports (there are a few example of hybrids (ie: DDR or DDR2).

I generally hate small and extremely bright lights; that is good that the drivers allow you to tone it down.

All in all, I think you did very well. Hopefully, the most important part, the motherboard, was a first place consideration, as it will determine later on what you can upgrade to.

ps: small spelling corrections (past tense is a bitch!):
- built, not builted (built would be the equivalent of builded).
- deticated.. -> dedicated

NOOOOOOOOBS!!!!!!

Jeez everyone knows that the only memory you can us with an I7 proccessor is DDR3 and that is it, DDR3 in triple channel mode. DDR5 only appears in the v-ram on graphics cards

As for the mobo you dont mean the blood rage do you?

Flaming Blade is full-fat Bloodrage on a diet with better cooling in it. Its like the new model of BR. The excellent Sonar X-Fi soundcard is eschewed in favour of onboard audio, SAS support gets chopped, and the SATA ports are moved from the edge to further into the interior and they got rid of the floppy-connector. And the price got lowerd from 280 (street price) to 200 and less.
