Matter of preference, but I'd swap that drive for a Western Digital, and perhaps go with a Gigabyte board.

I'm actually thinking about getting a western digital because that is what I put into my ps3.

Any suggestions for Graphics card then?


I'm only going to get an i5 at the moment and then get an i7 later on, which is why I chose the intel board with its i5/i7 capabilities.

Also I'm salvaging my DVD/CDrW from this computer.
