Hey all!
Thanks to your help, I've been able to complete my computer without any problems. I love you toms =D
However, the reason for this question is that I'm using my mom's old 34gb IDE hard drive, temporarily. It sucks... really bad, and i want a fresh install of windows seven on a good hard drive.
the question, is:
what hard drive should I buy? I don't need any more than 250gb, since my old computer I barely pushed past the 200gb mark. At the moment I just play games, and I don't want to spend more than about 60 dollars.
My system is:
i7 860
radeon 4770
MSi gd65 mobo
gskill 2x2gb ripjaws
liteon optical drive
700w power supply
HAF 932 case
(crappy) 34gb harddrive
I have been thinking about seagate barracuda 7200.12 250/500gb, or spinpoint F3 250/500gb
however, I'm not sure if the famed f3/barracuda speeds hold up at the 250 gb lvl. Please don't recommend caviar black unless it fits my budget
I prefer to use the Egg, but I have a microcenter near my house.
Thanks for your answers in advance!
(Best answer wasnt necesarily the best individual answer, but the total amount of help. thanks!)
