Do you really need windows professional?
Get this Hard Drive:[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=samsung+f3&x=0&y=0[/url] And this OS:[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754&cm_re=windows_7_home_premium-_-32-116-754-_-Product[/url]
The OS is a combo with the RAM so I figured why not. Also, switching HDD. I did hear spinpoints were good.
> means greater than.
Might i suggest a better motherboard? The MSI 870A-G54 is a good choice and it has a newer chipset and better on-board sound than the one you chosen.
[QUOTE=tom1029;26448482]> means greater than.[/QUOTE] Shit, I get mixed up all the time. :v: [QUOTE=Pedophila;26448924]Might i suggest a better motherboard?

[QUOTE=Pedophila;26448924]Might i suggest a better motherboard? The MSI 870A-G54 is a good choice and it has a newer chipset and better on-board sound than the one you chosen.[/QUOTE] Are there any major differences between the newer and older chipsets?
Get home premium? Why are you getting pro :v: [editline]2nd December 2010[/editline] Also get the 955
[QUOTE=Pedophila;26448924]Might i suggest a better motherboard? The MSI 870A-G54 is a good choice and it has a newer chipset and better on-board sound than the one you chosen.[/QUOTE] I have that mobo. I'm not sure what is wrong with my pc (just bought it a month ago), but the onboard sound makes scratchy sounds when I scroll my mouse wheel, and in TF2 and other games, there is a constant buzz sound. It doesn't do it when I plug in a sub, and then speakers or headphones into the sub, only when I plug speakers or headphones directly into the computer (front or back ports doesn't matter).
