Probably better to buy 1x 2GB RAM stick than 2x 1GB sticks as then you have room for future upgrades, + I think it's just more efficient, but not too much of a problem.

That computer only has a 500w power supply which I don't think would be enough with that graphics card, but meh could be.

Depends which is cheaper and the best profit for you, if you're making it yourself you could screw something up etc, but it's cheaper in the long run, so up to you. Bearing in mind you'd have to setup the BIOS and stuff like that, installing the OS etc, which is already done on the pre-made so a lot more convenient.

[mrmagoo]

Yeah i have no clue how to setup bios and im afraid i would mess something up. I should get the prebuilt one then since its not much more and i cant screw it up since its already built lol.

For $130 you could get SeaGate 1TB HDDs (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3346290&Sku=TSD-1000AS)

Lawl ..

[mrmagoo]

I dont use much space. im only using like 80 gb right now and im on a tight budget :/

[Corran]

I was saying to switch it with the 160GB one. Who cares, it's future-proof. 120 bucks is a fucking great price for that much space.

My business could build it for you.....
