First, you don't NEED an external RAID controller to run RAID 5, although it was misinformed of me to recommend it in this scenario.
That said, RAID 1 has no performance losses as compared to a single HDD, and, since it's written to at the same time as the primary HDD, it's basically as secure as it gets. In what way is a third-party software and an external disk any more reliable than a RAID 1 setup?
You can, in fact, run an Nvidia card for dedicated PhysX with an ATI card running graphics, it just requires using hacked drivers (or old drivers). It's not "legit," but it works, and it works very well.
As for the "sexa-core" joke, I understand it (I'm sixteen for god's sake) but it's incorrect. Plain and simple. The fact that you find it vaguely humorous does nothing to change that.
