Your HDD is more of a storage drive than a boot drive, the greens are designed for low noise and power consumption, theyre not particuarly quick, if youre booting from it it may slow your system down, other than that looks good

SAFE G! which HDD would you recomend???
 
I would go for a cheaper RAM set:

You should also have a look at the Samsung F3 1TB:

For gaming I would stick with a wired keyboard and mouse.

The following keyboard is very good for the price:

Get a wired mouse and you can plug it into one of the USB ports on the keyboard.

I would also get the Seasonic X650 for around the same price as the Antec PSU you have listed.

safe g. y would u recomend the samsung 1tb drive n a cheaper ram.
btw the ram i got is 8-8-8-24. what does that mean compared with 9-9-924. which ones better? safe.
 
btw do you know how to put raid on multiple hard disks. raid 0 is what am looking for and by the responses am getting on the hard drive..am thinking of getting more 3 more hardisks and using raid on em. n also do i have to get the exact same hdd or can i buy for example a western digital 250gb hdd???
 
ok..lol its a long story but basically i had to spend a grand in a very short time and only after purchasing the items did i find out about ocUK fourm..hence the reason i am asking 4 opinions after.
 
and bout the floppy drive, i jus had to ave one for memories sake...rememeba dem days wen everyone use to carry floppy disks round..memories memories memories...n da feel u get wen u eject the disks from the drive...purely for old times sake!
 
lol...i gues u stand by my decision for having a floppy drive since you havnt chucked ur one away out of shame???
