I built this: [b]Video Card:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125295[/url] [b]Case:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119122[/url] [b]Mother Board:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131402[/url] [b]Power Supply:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006[/url] [b]Processor:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674[/url] [b]RAM:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193[/url] [b]Hard Drive:[/b] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136098[/url] I skimped on the Hard drive and the Video card for now because I don't plan on much high end gaming for awhile. The harddrive is temporary so I would like to get another. If anyone is wondering, I got the above build for 747.16 total, with shipping/taxes. I think it's a pretty good build but I want to know what I could get to finish it off strong. Note: I don't need a DVD drive [using an old one] What I am considering for now are Hard drives, sound cards, and CPU coolers. Or anything else you think I could use. The budget is $300!

I've had 2/2 Seagates die on me in the past few years so I don't really feel like giving them anymore of my money, mind suggesting a western digital instead?
WD Caviar Black with 32Mb cache, 7200 rpm You select the size [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150014%2050001306%201035507776%201035424340&name=Western%20Digital[/url]
I assume black is the best one of the western digital colors?
Green is energy saving I'm not too sure what Blue is, but Black is faster
Blue - 16 MB cache, 7200 rpm Green - 8-16 MB cache, 5400-7200 rpm (it never runs at 7200 don't get your hopes up) Black - 32 MB cache, 7200 rpm, 2 additional years of warranty
i recommend Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB or 2TB
Get this along with the 5770 that Adzicents posted. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284[/url] [quote][url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102858[/url][/quote]

It performs pretty much like everything else, i don't notice much speed difference from the green.
Above is true. I notice some difference from the black. But only a very minor one.
I think it's only with transferring files that it matters.
[QUOTE=x|Sasuke~;18881849]i recommend Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB or 2TB[/QUOTE] If and when getting the 2TB, make sure it's 64mb Cache
Does anyone see the price of the 5770, or 5850 going down around christmas?
[QUOTE=Ty2_d2;18895992]Does anyone see the price of the 5770, or 5850 going down around christmas?[/QUOTE] I thought they went up.
I haven't paid attention but it makes sense, I think the supply is down so they raised the prices... :[ I really don't want to be buying a high end card right now anyways...
don't get a GT220 it is a waste of cash look for a lower end mobo and cpu say \ 785+955 and 5770
.... you don't read well do ya? I already BUILT that.
[QUOTE=Ty2_d2;18896150]I haven't paid attention but it makes sense, I think the supply is down so they raised the prices... :[ I really don't want to be buying a high end card right now anyways...[/QUOTE] 5770 isn't a high-end card. 5770 and WD Blue is your best option right now.

[QUOTE=Ty2_d2;18904635].... you don't read well do ya? I already BUILT that.[/QUOTE] I would've put "already" in CAPS. Why would you put emphasis on "built?"
Well if it isn't high-end I don't want it then! I don't want to upgrade the GPU until I can get a nice high-end one and then buy another later on to crossfire them. So I guess 5770 is out of the picture now. I will probably get that caviar black tho. What else. [editline]06:04AM[/editline] [QUOTE=ghostofme;18904707]I would've put "already" in CAPS.

Why are you on an alt?
decided I liked my old account better.
