What? 160GB will be more than sufficient for W7 and loads of games.

W7 = 15gb max

Games on average now are about 8-11GB (some bigger ones sure but also smaller ones) that gives you just over 10 of the newer (larger) games installed. Who has more than that installed, seriously? I could barely name 10 games let alone own them and have them installed and if you do have others that are just for singleplayer, that's what the Samsung F3 1TB is for!

Malkavian - if you end up wanting TRIM then just go the the 160GB Intel but I would still include a Samsung F3 or WD Caviar Black 1TB for pure storage. That is what's takes up most space, films + music. Gamers even for the most hardcore are probably more similar to you only have a few games installed that they session a lot.

Thanks for advice wu-tang. Im only geting two 80gb intels as i have another pc just for music, films and media etc etc. This beast im making is purely for games. When i build a new pc and when each month passes by i put some money to the side for a upgrade that i do every two years. Normally allows me to get some of the best hardware when im due a upgrade. Im not going to get a hdd though just going to get the two intels
