Hi everyone,

I'm building a new pc with these specs (so far) -
AMD Phenom II X3 Tri Core 720 Black Edition 2.8GHz (Socket AM3),
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard,
Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel (KHX8500D2K2/4G).

Can someone recomend a harddrive to go with this.Ideally from the £40 to £80 range.


Thanks for your help.
 
Thanks for the reply guys,

would an antec 380w power supply out of my old pc be ok for this?
Also my old graphics card geoforce 9600gt.






cheers
 
Gaming.
Mainly for arma 2 and hopefully the new modern war 2 and operation flashpoint games when they come out.

I'm on a budget and don't want to spend a fortune but would like the games to run smoothly on a medium graphic setting.

It doesn't need to be the best everything or the most powerful, i only play a few games but my current system is stopping me from enjoying arma 2 to it's full potential (having to play on all the lowest settings and still having slowdown and jerky movements on screen).
 
Superewza,

ideally i wanted to spend between £300 - £400 but i think that's looking like wishfull thinking right now.

Will the new phenom chip need a new fan and heat sink as well?.
 
RJC,

i'll most probably order the sugestion you made.
Just one last question, i have an old antec case with one fan attached to the back and two vents on the side.Will i have any over heating problems do you think?
 
Thanks for all the help RJC i really appreciate it.

Sorry to be a pain and continue to ask questions, but i might as well buy a new floppy drive and dvd drive at the same time.

Do you have any suggestion as to which ones would match well with the system i'm building.


Kindest regards
