I am looking for a reliable 1Tb harddrive that is not going to break on.
for the budget of £60.

The motherboard is MSI 880GM-E41
and the os windows 7 pro 64bit.

thanks
 
Either IDE or SATA optical drive. You have 1 IDE channel for up to 2 IDE devices and 6 SATA 2 ports. Frankly, I would go with SATA.
 
Ok thanks 2 quick question do I have to get the gpu from the compabilty list or can I get what gpu I want. And this is not revent if you hard drive crashes and breaks do you lose your windows product key and if you do is there anyway to stop you losing your key in case.
Thanks John
 
Do you have the retail version of windows or an OEM version? If you have OEM, its basically tied to the motherboard its installed on, unless it gets hit by lightning or something and you can just call microsoft to reactivate. You can buy and pci express video card providing you have a decent enough power supply to push it.
 
So I'm actually doing this tomorrow, I'm reinstalling windows 7 OEM to my 320GB to use my SSD in my new build. Do I need to reactivate it or should it be good to go? Still have the product key to it.

If your doing a clean install you have to reactivate no matter what version you have. If you have a OEM copy and havent done any upgrades, especially the motherboard, you will have no problems.

You can use any PCIe video card. As long as your case is big enough and your power supply can push it. Of course you can go overboard with a card that would bottlenecked by your CPU
