Just get one HDD unless you need 2, you dont need w7 professional. Your GPU is a little weak but not bad.

I have always gone with two hard drives. I always keep one as a backup that is imaged in case one fails. Call it paranoia. My monitor is only 1680x1050, so i figured that GPU would be fine for gaming at that res. I was mainly worried about the ram, I heard the sandy bridge stuff is finicky over ram voltage etc.

 

[mnewsham]

1.5v CL9 1333mhz is what i recommend

Get Home Premium unless you need to join a domain for whatever reason. Why are you getting two different drives? I know that NCIX doesn't carry Samsung drives (because NCIX is lame), but since you're getting 2 drives anyway, you might as well just get 2 of the Seagates.

I was going to do that. Actually I was going to get an SSD and the WD drive also. I am still a little wary about SSD drives though, so I thought I would try the Western Digital still as the primary drive, then decided to get the seagate as backup.

Already placed the order. I find it strange they have not warned me about a waiting time for the MSI (B3 Stepping) motherboard yet, so it cannot be too far away from release.

 

[Dean]

I am kinda happy now that there was a Delay with the B3 motherboards. My order was still pending so I called NCIX and wiped that order and decided to replace it with a P67 Motherboard they had in stock. Here is my revised order.
