1. 9
2. Should change, nothing really.
3. I would personally go with the Core 2 Duo E6600, its only about $20 more but is a good bit faster, plus overclocks amazingly. I personlly think RAID 0 is a waste, it does not provide a very big performance gain at all, and doubles your risk of hard drive failure. Personally I would not spend that much on a sound card, but that is just a personal thing.

1. Rating: 9/10
2. You should change your harddrives to either a 500Gig barracuda or two 250 Gig Barracuda's.
3. I would would switch processors to intel's core 2 duo extreme, or even the E6600 or E6700's. They have much better heat resistance under extreme use.
