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

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.

I was looking at newegg and they have a GTX480 on sale for 200 which doesn't sound too bad. Also which is better the crucial m4 or the Samsung 830?

I am going to be putting all of this in a P280 which is made for keeping things quite not cool.

Is the Hyper 212 good as everyone says it is, I was just thinking the Frio might let me overclock it a little more. Would I need to get the bracket that goes with it?

Is the GT480 that much faster? I didn't think it was, also I thought those ran fairly hot and it starts getting close to the cost of a GTX 560Ti.

I thought that the patriot drive was sanforce which isn't really reliable. Thanks for the code I didn't know about that.

E7200 & 4GB RAM, so this would be a better upgrade GTS 450

SeegsElite where are you finding that 5770?

I was thinking if I went too much higher that the cpu would be the bottle neck.

I was looking at upgrading my graphics card from a 9600GT to a Radeon HD 4850. Its an older system with a Core2Duo. For the money it seems like a good deal, any thoughts.

I want to upgrade my pc to 4 gigs of ram, I already have 2 X 1GB sticks in and could get two more with out a problem. So which is better buying 2 X 2GB or just picking up a couple of more 1GB sticks.

I am not going to be using a tuner card. Its going to be dedicated for streaming and playing dvds that I rip to it.

I have just heard so many good things about it I thought it would be a good way to go.

I am getting ready to setup up my first HTPC using. I have all of the parts minus the storage I want, but don't know the best setup to use. I would like to run the whole thing from linux using XBMC but then I can't use netflix. I don't have a lot of linux knowledge so I thought it would be a...

Thanks for the help, I haven't even had to think about it in a long time since I have been using SATA.

I have never put a CD and HD on the same cable before because I remember hearing years ago that it would slow down your HD. Is this true? I just put a pc together from some spare parts and am short a ide cable and was going to put them on the same cable if it wouldn't make a difference.

I need to get a new hard drive and was going to get the WD 640GB but then saw the new Seagate 640GB. I know what the WD is very fast, but I like the idea of Seagate's warranty. Any idea?

Thanks, that helps a lot.

I downloaded realtemp and core temp. My motherboard utility was 3 degrees off of what realtemp was reporting, I was pretty happy with that. There is a 10 degree difference between realtemp and core temp is there a reason for this, or should I trust one over the other. Also one core is running 6...
