Core i3 + GTX460: first time builder!

[ther00kie16]

Everything looks solid. My only recommendation would be: why not step up to the 1TB drive for a minimal price increase? Once I got my 1TB (albeit using it as external), I filled it up >2/3 full in just a few days and all I had before was a 160gb and a 200gb.

In case you wondering about the math, I copied a lot of files from a friend.

I don't download, I don't have many movies at all on my PC. Just 65GBs of my CDs encoded to the PC as my media center.

500 GB internal on new build + 160GB on laptop I already have + 160GB on external HDD I already have + 500GB on external HDD I already have...

500GB is a very safe upper limit for me. I doubt I'll ever have this much and it'll be cheap to add another drive of the same capacity to have a constant backup.

I'm very disappointed in myself that I ordered the graphics card from a merchant@ amazon. I should have ordered from Amazon itself and I would already have it...
