Should I build my own gaming PC or just buy it from company?

for me building mine was as expensive as a bought one [UK] and it was my first build, but you get to pick your own bits, ie PSU and ram in particular, its also quite fun, and nerve wracking when you first turn it on! i spent weeks looking for deals etc went to 7 different companies in the end...

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Recommendations

Best hard setup? [i7-920 with asus p6t win7]

ive decided for now im going to use a 300gb VR drive for my OS and programs [inc games] and other large HDDs as archive then when SSDs become cheaper im going to get a 64gb SSD for OS and programs, the 300GB VR can be for games etc and any other HDD can be used for archive sound like an ok idea?

im going to try and get a VR 300gb for os and apps, the 128gb SSDs are very expensive and i still wouldnt fit all my OS and apps on them, is RAID worth it at all? or is risk of data corruption just too high?

its just too expensive compared to hard drives [as yet] imo, id be looking at at least a 120gb, which is about 3 times the price of a 2TB mechanical drive! maybe in a years time when they are cheaper, i can get 120gb ssd for the same price as 6TB of mechanical drives, i just cant justify it atm
