just fyi, if you need straight performance (i.e. your OS/programs disc), you'll want a model that isn't green. green models fluctuate between 5400 and 7200RPM to save power and reduce heat
Did not know that. I will be using it for storage only so thats only a benefit for me. There is no way to disable that?
might be. didn't some HDD manufacturers support the HDD management software taht could do lots of shit?

i don't know about the 2nd part, but people have told me you can't. i would buy a green drive if i knew for sure i could get it to run at 7200RPM constant. sadly it appears not.

IIRC, my current HD is this: "500GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 502IJ SATA2 7200RPM 16MB cache"

So should I install the OS on that, and use the 1TB drive for storage?

Or not worry about it and just use the 1TB.

Nothing is worse than a slow HDD. Slows the fastest PC to a crawl

which is why everyone loves SSDs so damn much. the faster your HD is, the more responsive the OS is going to be, and it'll just feel zippier in general. game maps will load a little faster too. SSDs are SO expensive atm though. i want one badly.

the fact just is 95% of the decently priced SSDs plain suck.

OCZ Vertex or those Intel ones are atm the best way to go. But FFS I'm not paying 250€ for 60GB MLC SSD....

Gonna wait for the proccessor (and screen) to arrive first.

Also, I just realised that all my spare keyboards/mice are in fact being used. Either that, or they're broken. (Or PS/2)

Nice rig. Im ordering pretty much exactly the same soon, except I already have an antec 900, 2 HDD's (seagate 9200.10 and old ide storage drive) one sata2 dvdr drive, and mice and keyboards. Im swaying more on the Ati side of gfx though, for a change, ive always found gaming to be smoother and look better on ati cards, so 4890 it is.

One query though does that MB support crossfire ? Incase one 4890 is not enough power for ARMA2 etc !?

Love that motherboard I have it with two 4870's and Phenom II 955 on it. I thought the Phenom II 940 wouldn't work on AM3 Boards? never mind it read your board wrong I thought it was 790xt not 790x
