It is impossible to have a 32x graphics card, as there is no such thing as a 32x slot. The only way to use 32x bandwidth is to use two graphics cards in a board that has a full bandwidth chipset.

For the hard drive power connectors, this only applies to older drives that have both molex and S-ATA power connectors. This doesn't happen for new drives any more. With these older drives, connecting both at once could cause shorts in the power regulation circuitry due to the potential difference between the two power connections, which is why you must never use both. Neither method is 'better' than the other, but S-ATA power connectors are smaller and take up less space, so they're usually the best to use.

Alright so I finally got the last bit of money together for the rest of the parts. My next question is which windows 7 do you recommend? I"m not sure what the difference in features is. Is windows home pro fine? Also after I purchase the OS do I boot up the computer and just follow any steps that show up or is there specifics that I need to follow. Like setting up the BIOS settings, what raid setting to set it to. I hear alot about overclocking, is that just fine tuning your pc for optimal settings? If so is there software you recommend? Also is there software that I should buy that you cant see yourself living without? And last but not least, thanks again for all of your help. You guys have been awesome!
