Hello,
I am building a brand new rig consisting of:
Case: http://www.compusa.com/application [...] CatId=1510


MotherBoard: http://www.compusa.com/application [...] CatId=6978


Ram: http://www.compusa.com/application [...] CatId=4534


Processor: http://www.compusa.com/application [...] CatId=6989


Cooler for CPU: http://www.compusa.com/application [...] No=6506388

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-371-043&SortField=0&SummaryType=2&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29#scrollFullInfo

I am left blank with what Hard Drive to buy (Best of the Best Preferred-no money limit), I'm not sure if I should go with an SSD since I will only use this rig for Online Gaming and lastly I am gonna go with SLI MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr III unless someone has a better choice for me.
Again, I have no money limit so respond with only top notch stuff.


Thank You !

Hello,

If I were looking for the best and fastest drive for a new computer with no price tag limit, I'd look at the OCZ Vertex 3 480GB SSD.
They're fast, fairly large in capacity, and pricey, about $1700.

Another choice might be a Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB 6Gb/s HDD which would also work, at about, give or take, one quarter the speed, at about one tenth the price.

If it's for gaming, redundency and safety is probably not a high priority.

Your links are broken for CompUSA :(

I would recmmend a 120GB SSD, plus a 1TB drive for your build. You won't regret it and if you are running SLI GTX 570's, it is a type of build you want a SSD. I can't recommend you devices, since I'm not sure what SATA controllers you are running.
