i want to build my own computer and wanted to know if this was any good

two pairs 9800 GX2′s for dual 22″ monitor
two intel core two Duos 3.2 GHz
6 western digital velociraptors in RAID 0 configuration
Coolermaster airbrushed blue flame case
2x Bluray burner/reader
liquid cooling

razer lachesis mouse
logitech mx 5500 keyboard
creative labs sound blasterx-fi elite pro sound card
Yamaha YSP-4000 Multi-Channel Digital Surround Sound Projector
i like to play games like zoo tycoon 2 and sims, friend said this might be good but i want to be sure
You definitly dont need to build a sytem that huge if your just going to be playing zoo tycoon2 and sims, Thoes games dont really require that much video to play that.
and second, if you do decide for a elaborate system as the one you said, liquid cooling i have heard bad things about, like the copper eroding away causing leaks in your system shorting out your mobo.
I have a stock dell e510 with 4 gigs of ram, pentium 4 3mhz, 300gb hard drive and a 305w psu and i have a Ati Radeon hd 2600pro 512mb video card and im running games just fine. I play GTA san andreas on very high resoloution on 1280×1024 with alot of visual mods with out a problem. and that game is way more visually stressful than sims or z00 tycoon
Hope this helps you!
