Folding Rig

[aznshinobi]

So my mom wants a computer, decided to take advantage and make a rig where I can fold while she uses the computer. Woot JOIN THE THGC FOLDING@HOME TEAM! Anyway, I was looking at some items and with a $700 or $750 (750 is kind of pushing it). I have some items already picked out so I was going to look for some input and if you can find a cheaper setup.

CPU/MOBO: Intel i3 540 - Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 Combo: $221.98 (Justification for the 540, it's just 10$ more than the 530 so I might as well get something I can make sure I will hit 4.0ghz)

Looks pretty good. I would just suggest a few tweaks.

If you can afford it go for the 1GB version of the GTX460.

I would spend the extra $10 on a Spinpoint F3 500GB hard drive. Due to the 500GB platter design it will be faster.

Hmm see that's what I was considering for the F3 or the F4, because I saw that the F4 actually beats out many Seagate drives, but i haven't seen a comparison between the the F3 and F4 series

I don't think your gonna get a 4 ghz oc on a h57 micro atx board, they aren't like the p55 boards.
