nice choice but im concerned about HDD space. can't you go a little more? otherwise fine

[=98=]

160gb should be perfectly adequate, although 250gb's are relatively cheap. At one point Ebuyer were doing 500gb Samsung Spinpoints for £50.

[Sniper1432]

looks good dude, good luck!

[[MyIS]Dan]

I myself would try and get a 16MB Cache on the HDD.

[jubb jubb]

160gb is fine for me and by the time i fill it up, that computer will be obsolete and anyway if i do fill it up, i'll just get another one.

also i'm thinking about getting an antec 900 is worth it?

and which of the rams were better?

[XavierOwn™]

Ram

Nice parts for the price!

The ram are pretty much the same, i would go with the corsair BUT! others may see different!



Good luck

ps Take pics whilst building xD

The corsair RAM is better- lower latency, lifetime warranty, and I've never heard of Team Elite.

[=98=]

Team Elite make good memory, they are only very popular with overclockers etc..

They used to use the Micron D9 chips.

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

Oh, OK, I've just never come across them. :)

also ive found this ram, is it any good?

im also going to get the cm-690 without the psu and get a 550w truepower trio. is this overkill & is a 500w earthwatts enough?

and does it help by changing the mobo to a p35c-ds3r - it supports ddr3. does this mobo support the new true intel quad cores coming out?


sorry if i seem rude

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

DDR3 is currently far more expensive and isn't really worth it at the moment.

I think ive got the one on my xmas list with ddr3 suport...can still use ddr2 but slighlty future proof when ddr3 becomes cheaper....has 6 RAM slots right?

Not sure about the quads

[jubb jubb]

yea im getting it so i can future proof when it comes down in price & gets faster - now the performance increase isnt that great & its far more expensive than ddr2

and yes 6 RAM slots, 4 for DDR2 and 2 for DDR3

what about the ram?
is it better than the corsair ram in the first post?

[Wizrdwarts]

I feel sorry for you guys who don't have access to Fry's. 2 gigs of that Corsair ram I can get for ~$40. :p

(not trying to brag lol)
