I think you mean NO PSU. Because it's safe to say that if you have a PSU you most likely want it on

why in this day and age would you want a 160gb, and 2 80 gb's? should have just had one 750 gb in it.

Bigger is not always better.

^tehee, lol. Considering that 80gb and 160gb hard drives are basically no longer manufactured, nor new ones are coming out, means that they are relatively dated. Meaning they are slower then a newer drive, so yes, in this case a bigger drive is better, there is no reason to have multiple smaller drives if you have the choice.

The main issue I had with his rig was the Phenom 1 (horrible overclockers). The 9800GTX is not BAD, but the 5770 would have been a better choice in my opinion.
The motherboard and Phenom 1 are the main problem, as they are not upgradable at all without completely replacing the motherboard and processor. Also, the Ram can't be re-used if you plan on doing a proper upgrade.
Still, this rig will chew up basically any game you throw at it, and for $500 I wouldn't expect much better. (unless of course you're talking about a Tech-forums build., you guys are CRAZY about getting some amazing machines for dirt cheap)
Not bad though, once again 6/10

^cause the resolution is not high, if thats the resolution you will be gaming on, then that computer will rape any game you throw at it for quite a while with max settings.
