im building a new pc at the moment and i have a question about the 2 drives. The pc in question is this

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W
Board: GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX (bought off tdub 92 shipped)
Video: 2x SAPPHIRE 100283-2L Radeon HD 5770 1GB
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W
Memory: G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B (bought off HaxEJxuK New 80 shipped)

how much of a difference is there between sata and ide
 
Big difference. New SATA drives are significantly faster than many IDE drives out now.
 
No need to mess around with stupid JUMPERS too! haha

remember those days? I had some drives with small ass jumper clips that was a pain to get out.
 
I ordered the drive below. it was 47 with free shipping. the 250gb drives were 46 with free shipping. How are western digital drives

Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Decent drive but poor choice for the money. The significantly faster WD3200AAKS drive is only $3 more.

ok guys im going ot need alittle help here. I currently have 49 dollars on paypal and i need a HDD. this is dumb and i dont know why this is doing this but I placed an order for the WD3200AAKS as recommended they started to process the 48 on newegg then obviously take the remainder off my credit card and bam Credit card declined lol. called my CC and i still have plenty of cash.

So now i need a HDD that is under 48 shipped. I dont care if its 350 - 250 - 160 just dont want to buy junk. These 3 hard drives on new egg i can afford what do you think.

Western Digital Caviar Blue WD2500AAJS 250GB - 44.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3250318AS 250GB - 46.99
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB - 47.99

and here is the funny thing i just bought a cooler master HAF case using my Credit card on Newegg.
 
Try buying again with your credit card. Both those 250GB drives are complete junk for the their prices. The WD3200AAJS is the better deal out of the three. But it is still junk compared to the WD3200AAKS.
 
ive tryed its odd it goes through processing then bam Hold. credit card declined. it just makes no sense to me. shoot. i guess im stumped lol.

im gonna give ebay a shot and if not im gonna wait to see if a deal breaks before xmas

Contact Newegg Customer SUpport and see what happens.

thanks again Danny.
