The build seems fairly thought-through. Did you already consider ATI video cards? They usually offer more bang for the buck (surely - case by case and range by range, but still definitely worth consideration)

Run a antivirus scan (make sure your internet connection is off to avoid further damage) Can you tell something more about your network configuration (wireless, a router, direc access to internet, mobile internet etc...)?

or do you mean building a high-end server?

Been out of the loop there for a while :D After 1156 they said that 1366 is the sh*t, but now 1155 is? I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

1. Never owned ASRock, but heard that they are not the best thing. Go for Gigabyte or Asus. Check the intel chipset, though as it might be that the USB 3.0/SATA 3.0 use the PCI-EX lanes to meet their standards and that will kill GFX performance (the PCI-EX will not work x16 but x8 - and god...

Thanks for the opinions! I guess that the 27'' full HD 2ms would be the best thing after all for me as I use my PC for entertainment purposes only. I do all my work on laptops. And besides that, if I have to research stuff on the internet, the 1080p should suffice (I bought a 23.6" full hd...

So first of all, hi! I have not posted on this forum for like ages it seems now. Much stuff has happened since then, but these are my home forums and now I have real need for the members help. I am planning on getting a new monitor and get rid of the rigid (it's more mentally outdated than...

I totally agree with Wildcard here.

Do you mean have two active network connections? I think that will work quite good. (will depend on the software if it supports choosing the connection to use) But usually internet isn't fast enough for your integrated NIC to become a bottleneck (unless you're having a LAN party on a...

I'd go with this.

the hd6870 would be everything you need and more. you can also spend 50% less on a hd5770 and that would still work great for you (since you'll probably need a new PSU, too)

MySQL is the most popular one, as it's your standard relational database, is free, and is supported by a lot of web servers and web platforms (including many frameworks)

The links are corrupted. Anyway, a 17.3 laptop is huge. More like a portable desktop. That's the only downside that I see. Of course the $800 is a lot better. I'd go for the Gateway (2nd in list) just because of the 15". Those 6gb will not give that big of a boost. But if that's the only...

2.0 and 1.0 should be compatible. But the best way to know would be to google for the video card and motherboard pair - see if other people have tried this before.

It does not matter. 2.1 and 2.0 are backward-compatible.

quite a good machine. all looks compatible, but as always - the only way to find out 100% is to check the compatibility sheets of the motherboard for yourself.

get a better video card, PSU and Operating System (i.e. windows 7)

The NB needs a heatsink as such, but FANs are not necessarily required. Maybe try to start up your PC and check the temps - it could be that the std HS keeps the NB cool enough. A sick mod would be to cut off some of the flaps off of the CPU heatsink to make room for the FAN of the NB :D that...
