for HDD, i would actually suggest Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB, single platter drive, very fast
@jennyh, i know there are people worse on the site, its the fanboyism that isn't needed (thats both of you, looking at Misko), also the single benchmark trying to suggest based on game that the i5-750 would be worse, its all give and take, BC2 uses threads like nobody's business, but games like that are few and far between
as for peak performance, but keeping the budget, athlon II x4 and a 5850 would get better fps in games than a i5-750, just because of the better PSU
