I am about to buy (on 23rd probably) a new mid-gaming PC with the following specs:
-CM Elite 335 or Antec 200
-Intel core i5 750
-Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
-Transcend DDR3 1333MHz RAM: 2x2Gb
-500 GB HDD (Seagate Barracuda or WD Caviar Blue)
-GTS 250 512 MB (already bought, so can't change now)
-PSU CM Extreme 600W (already bought, so can't change now - bad choice)
-LG 19" LCD display with max resolution@1440X900 (Bought it 1.5 years ago)
-Altec Lansing BXR1121
I have two old Seagate SATA HDDs, a 4 year old 80GB one and another 2 year old 160GB one. I am definitely keeping the 160GB one, but I am not sure if I should keep the 80GB one as well. Keeping it will prevent a lot of headache for me in terms of making backups
1. Will the old HDDs slow down my system? I will install the OS on a partition on the new HDD and delete the OS partition in the old 80GB HDD.
2. Should I keep the 80GB one too or should just take backup and junk it.
3. Any power consumption problems with a core i5, a GTS 250 and 3 HDDs?
