So I'm all out of room on my pc and need a lot more room. On my current hard drive I have vista x64 and linux on there. I was hoping to get a hard drive right around 1tb (750 would be fine), that will do well with gaming. My mobo is an Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H (rest of specs in sig). I was hoping to install windows 7 on the new hard drive and leave the other one alone, is that possible? I'd like to keep it under $120 though, so whatta got?

Long answer: check your motherboard's specs here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128395 Short answer: yes.

This will be used primarily for gaming, so will it work good with that?

Gaming performance is not affected by Storage Drive.

... Unless you include "loading screen" as part of gaming performance, in which case a Raptor or SSD would offer you faster loading screens/bars.

so the one suggested above will work fine? also is a 600 watt psu good enough to have this on top of my x4 965 (125 watt version), 5830, 4 gig ram, 1 internal HDD, and 1 external?
