Default Noob Questions on Hard Drives

Hey,

Right now I have
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148040
in my cart on newegg

But now I think I want an 120g one. I heard Segate is a great HD and SATA interface is the best kind. Could anyone recomend an 120g Seagate HD form newegg? I dont know the diffrence between SATA and the other interfaces but people have just told me SATA is better.

This is my motherboard just to make sure it will work with it:

Im thinking about this one:

But im not sure if it will work with mobo and its RPM seems a bit low.

Look at SATA 3.0, which your motherboard supports... This is a nice drive, or for a bit more you can get one with NCQ support.

also, a lot of them say OED which means no cablesI guess. Where can I buy one? or does it come with the mobo?

Yeah, your SATA or IDE cables should come with the motherboard, and the power cables should come with the PSU.
