Everything looks good. You might want this graphics card instead.

Your build looks solid.

If it were me, I'd switch out the 2 HDD for one Western Digital 640 GB HDD great performance and price.

Good luck.

+1 for a 640GB drive. The 640GB drives have very high data density and are a lot faster than those 250GB drives you listed.

thanks all, eventually i'll get a 640 GB and transfer all the files from the 250 GB, but as for now, the 250 GB will work just fine.

 

[shortstuff_mt]

So you'd rather go with an old, slower HD with less than half the capacity? The 640GB drive is only an extra $14. I guess that's your choice, but it seems a little strange. Do you already have the 250GB drive or something?

 

[jonpaul37]

yeah, have the drive in my old AMD rig...

 

[shortstuff_mt]

OK, that makes more sense.
