Ahh.. Should be okay then.

Looks good here but I still tend to agree with Adrian even if you are just watching movies and working. The 9600gt is close in price but better in performance and power consumption.

Just a thought good choices though SkylineRemix

yup... on the 4th week of march, it still stick at RM 329.

Edit: Current price for Seagate 500GB with 32MB Buffer speed is RM 334. Looks quite worth it...

would be abit costy actually for a 9600GT. Currently in market it's about 600 bucks and above... i might as well get a XFX 8800GT with that cash...

The 9600gt sells between 150 and 250 dollars in Canada

More buffer doesn't mean more speed. Exactly like having 1GB RAM on 8600GT...

What about a DFI BloodIron P35-T2RL as motherboard? Looks hawt and should fit in your budget

Yeah, I think 32MB buffer is kinda overkill for a 500GB hard drive. Would not deliver much of a performance boost. Maybe for larger drives.
