I ended up getting the seagate because it was cheap, after buying all of the other components I need to save some money somewhere.

Thanks for the help, I am just looking for a drive to go with my ssd.

Doesn't Hitachi have a high failure rate? I still remember the deathstar drives.

I don't think that I want to use my old hd in my new system so I am looking at getting at new 1tb drive. Should I go with the WD Black or the Seagate Barracuda?

I am putting my new system together this week and need some advice on the best way to setup my drives. I bought a M4 64GB ssd which I know is not going to fit all of my games and what not on it so I will be putting those on a second drive. I am going to pick up a 1TB WD Black I think. I remember...

How is the gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3-B3

After looking at MicroCenter I am thinking about driving there in the morning to pick up some of the parts. I have seen where there are some combo deals there, anything that I should take note of.

Has anyone had any dealings with this retailer. I have never heard of them before and I was looking at buying a case from them.

I plan on ordering today

MB - ASUS P8Z68-V LE - $138 CPU - Core i5 2500k - $220 RAM - G.SKILL Sniper 8GB - $48 Video - EVGA GTX 480 - $200 SSD - Crucial M4 64GB - $95 PSU - Corsair TX650 V2 - $75 Heatsink - Cooler Master 212+ - $30 Total ~$806

Is there anything else that I need to consider before I place my order?

Yeah I seem to be missing all of the deals

That's what I get for waiting too long. I was going to get a 520 watt psu until I saw the seasonic on sale. How much power do I really need? I will have the components listed above in some for or fashion plus a 2TB Wd green and a 750GB seagate 7200.
