Wow, a sata disk drive? Where the **** have I been, Iam still stacking with my IDE drives. Well, the machine/parts you have will pretty much run anything. I remember the days when alienware was simply about name. Configuring my own machine with twin displays ram and proc was well over 3k. the system below cost around 900+, I had to buy speakers, mouse,keyboard,monitor etc but the actual case,mobo,ram,HDD,proc,vid card were so cheap, you'll be happy with your computer and the left over money!
