Good choices, except for the green drive as your OS drive. Green drives are 5400 RPM drives and stop spinning when not being accessed to save power... both of which will severely hamper your speed. A WD Black drive or, even better, a SSD (solid state drive) would be what you want.

i could have swore it said 7200rpm. that was my fault. will it hurt my system severely. if so ill try and return it and get a black one

Damn, nice set up! How much did you spend approximately?

 

[weebo66]

i think i spent about 12 to $1,300 or so...i only wanted to spend like 800 but well merry christmas i guess...lol and thanks man i hope it will kick some a$$. i still need to pick up a good monitor. i have an ok one but i was looking at like a 23" widescreen or something.

and trotter i sent in the green drive and picked up the black 1TB drive. thanks for the info on that man.
