Looks imporessive. 6GB RAM will be plenty even for heavy graphics work and video, if you need it.

750GB SATA


 

I suggest A Western Digital WD6401AALS, I had WD7501AALS Drives, The 640 is faster because it only has 2 320 gb platters, The 750 has 3 250 gb platters. Data access is Slower because it has  to Search 3 instead of 2 Heads, also more reliable. They are much more Snappy and responsive than the 750's, just a nice feel.

I just RMA' ed my last 750 and WD/Newegg is going to Swap it for another 640 making me have 4 of these installed. The Western Digital Black series has 32 MB Cache and Dual Processors, making them very fast drives. I've read a lot of reviews while I was Building my new System and had bought 4 of the 750 GB and have worked a deal where I traded them all back in to get 640's. I lost about $15 a Drive in doing this, but IMHO is worth it.

Trust me on this.


Also I would Build an AMD System, Intel's Processors are way over priced. The Fastest AMD Phenom II (3.4Ghz) is going for $189 right now. Whats The Intel Processor going to cost you?
