I would recomend getting at least 2TB hard drive

No that would be bad

What you'd want to do is get a smaller drive that's fast and then get a larger storage drive that's not as fast for the music and pics and all that

1TB is more then great for someone who's just starting

@jasonguy It also depends on what you are going to put on it ...music ? or games ..and yes the website is called ''gamespot'', noobies could be lookin for tech advice.

So if you are looking to put music on... 2TB is enough

That's a crossfire board, so if you are looking at any multi GPU option the future go with an ATI card.. if not just hang out with the 460.

Lol what? When I had a 500 GB hard drive I put a ton of games, music, videos on it and it never got full. I have a 1.5 TB hard drive now and 85% of it never gets used.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

I think you can get AMD x6 for the same price as the I5, and its about the same FPS in games, even though most games only run 4 of the cores. Sothe X6 is probably a better deal in the long run.
