My advice is to start basic. Use i sata dvd drive connected to sata 4 or 5 in sata or ide mode, Use 1 stick of ram, video card, 1 monitor,just the very basic you can get away with even better if you put your windows 7 on a usb and boot it from that to install. Make sure latest bios is there and when you hit the f6 to go into raid build your rain name it with your name. have the dvd with raid driver on it. stick it into the dvd drive and load if off disk make sure it is the 64 bit driver.
Easy to do once you get the hang of it you cant load windows then install driver you let the windows install start till it comes up with a box that shows you your drives and it should be empty cause you built your raid already.
The put in gigabyte disk and load drivers, after they load and it shows you drive take out gigabyte disk put windows disk back in and load windows.
