Have to side with jbakerlent on the Samsung Spingpoint F3 500gb, suppose to be a very good HD.

 

Provide links below the description so that its easier to find what you have, so we don't have to go searching for it. And generally a quick price after each items description helps out a lot. There is also a sticky in this forum on how to ask for advice, that gives us guidelines like what it is used for (gaming you mentioned) but also things such as sites prefered and budget, so we know what we are playing with.
