You might want to get a HDD with 32MB cache. They arent that much more expensive than the 16MB ones, and i expect would give you a good performance increase for money spent.

Thank you all for the help with decisions, here is the setup I am now looking at: CPU: Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz ... $280 Motherboard: MSI P55-GD80 LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX ... $180 Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model...

Thank you for the links on the modulars, I am willing to go higher in price to get more quality on the PSU. I definitely like the modularity. While it might be cheaper to do a grand job like Apsoul has done on his cable managment, I think i would prefer the ease of setup. I was also looking at...

Very nice job on the cables there. I like your twisting style. Yeah, I may have to rethink the pick on the hard drives, if i went smaller on the SSD, I will get one of the faster HDD's as you have suggested. I would go for the larger ssd (256GB) if i could, but it doesn't fit within my budget.

Ive always felt that some of the Neverwinter Knights games were underrated. hmm, as for overrated, I have to say Halo games as well. The games are good, but definitely not what a lot of people make them out to be.

Nice to see such a good forum. I like gaming occasionally, so ill probably be hanging out there and in the hardware forums, and maybe the software section. Putting together a new computer as well. Fall and winter are good seasons.. Time is depressing. Gotta get some sleep.. Nice to meet y'all.

Hey there! Woke up last week and realized... man, does my computer feel old! So I set about doing some research into getting a new rig. I was initially looking at custom builders, but in the end, I felt that these were either too expensive, or not exactly what I wanted (along with the fact that...
