Please Review My Build Before I Order

[youngsatchmo]

Thanks a bunch. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Why not Seagate now (besides the fact that it's out of stock at Newegg)?

I have already downgrade the processor to E8400. Thanks for the good suggestion.

...platter density is why you hear WD 640GB recommended over Seagate.

WD Caviar SE16 "Blue" or WD Caviar "Black" are the models to buy.


BTW, Add the Sennheiser RS110 wireless headphones to your cart also. :thumbsup::laugh:

everything looks good...looks similar to my new build.

WD Caviar SE16 "Blue" or WD Caviar "Black" are the models to buy.

The only difference between those is the cache size, correct?

LOL, I already own it. My co-workers bought it for me when I got married. This way, I can blast my shotgun and throw grenades in my games when my wife's sleeping.

Thanks for the recommendations.

There are no problems with Vista64 gaming. There's some guy over in the PC Gaming forum who has >400 games installed & working perfectly with that OS. And I've used it myself without any problems.

The Caviar Black drives are a bit faster overall than the Blue ones but just go for the WD6400AAKS -- it's quiet, cool, and fast - what more could you ask for?

Does Vista64 recognize the WD HDD upon installation? Do I have to install the SATA driver manually?

Yes. No. The Vista installer recognizes SATA controllers automatically.

Also, if you have a printer, check and see if it has 64-bit Vista drivers available - printers are the worst when it comes to having 64-bit drivers.

I'm a gamer, I play lots of games, no problems with Vista.

Thanks for the heads up. Apparently, HP does not have the driver for my printer that works with Vista64.

I just found [u=[url="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00808543&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=90764&os=2100"]http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfr...&product=90764&os=2100[/url]]this out[/u]. 🙁

I waited a week for Thanksgiving Black Friday, and most of the components I picked out got additional discounts (instant savings).

Most significantly, the Antec 900 received a whopping $80 instant price cut.

I saved a bundle by waiting a few days. Fortunately, I ordered before the http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811129021]Antec case[/url] was sold out. 🙂
