Guys I have Biostar TA790GXE-128M mobo I want to make it on which I can store all my data >10TB and my brother can play games.

It has two pci-e 16x slots can I run graphic card in one and a raid card in another.

Also i was thinking to add in it a 1055T (used) for 100 bucks is it worth.

Or get a 965 at 80 bucks.

will it be worth to add in 1066Mhz ram I presently have 800Mhz ones.

Yes. You can put a RAID card in the second one. I'd get the 965 since you can OC it with the multiplier. Also, you won't benefit much from 1066MHz RAM from 800MHz. I'd get 1600MHz.

Interesting. It should work fine though.

Also, I just realized the motherboard doesn't support anything higher than 1066. Please don't get RAM any higher than that. It'll be a waste of money.
