| 743118 | 2009-01-29 22:58:00 | Looks good to me, just make sure the case is big enough for an ATX board. I probably would have gone with an ATi HD4850 instead of the 9800GT. Maybe get a 3rd party cooler and oc that 8400 | Netsukeninja (13296) | ||
| 743119 | 2009-01-29 22:59:00 | Welcome to PF1 What are you going to use the computer for. Eg: general day to day stuff, Gaming, etc |

| 743121 | 2009-01-30 01:13:00 | id suggest another 2gig of ram (especially for vista) otherwise it looks sweet | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 743122 | 2009-01-30 01:25:00 | Another 2Gb of ram is not much use unless you use a 64Bit OS. 32Bit OS will only see about 3Gb. Hard Drive = Seagate IMHO |

| 743123 | 2009-01-30 01:51:00 | I'd get the WD 640 Green or blue, black has 5 yr warrenty | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 743124 | 2009-01-30 01:52:00 | should of pointed that out oops i use 64bit and its actually suprising how vista uses it up. i had 2gig for ages and at idle used a gig, now with 4gig i idle using 1.3gig |

| 743126 | 2009-01-30 04:05:00 | hueybot-all hard drive manufacturers have had a stuff up before, even reliable brands such as seagate and WD. Overall Seagate is still more reliable. And as far as I'm concerned, the 500gb drives works OK with the updated firmware and the 320gb have no problems at all. Thanks Blam |
