personally i would go with the 10000 rpm as the operating drive then have a 1 terabyte drive as the drive where you save all your games,etc
Video Card -id get this card it is nice and will handle pretty much every game out there on very good settings. however it is pretty big so make sure you have a big case.

however if you plan on running sli in your rig then i would personally go for these two.

however if you do plan on running any of these cards i have picked out for you i would recommend that you use a 1000watt power supply or 800,850 at the minimum.
:wink:good luck:wave:
Thanks for any help xD
