It goes well with the drives I already have: Samsung Spinpoint F1 750GB (Yes I'll have two of those then  )Western Digital 3200KS 320GB Samsung Spinpoint 250GB Western Digital 160GB External I haven't got much porn *looks up porn directory* 23.1GB It's more for all the tv-series, movies and games.

sweet rig dude, Ive got the same CPU and its clocking nice at x8 440FSB 3.8 ghz, i've had it semi stable at 9x for 4 Ghz but can be a bit twitchy though it might be my motherboard  but no probs at 3.7ghz and no temp increase in OC |

I'm planning to overclock. Have never really done it before so I might be in need of some assistance.

Yer but I'll have enough. Besides if I do 100GB then I get around 20GB of free space and start uninstalling loads of stuff. I'm planning to install most of my games on it. I can easily fill 150GB with that

Only start over clocking once the machine is up and tested with OS and stable full time, otherwise you are on a 'what could it be' if your happy at defaults then comes the time for little tweaks here and there for OC. |
