Yeah the seagate makes some good hdd's and so do Western Digital but a lot of people don't seem to agree.

Looks good so far man. A 300gb Western Digital is a good choice.

Definitely get the OCZgameXstream psu.

Good choice on case to, it's a sweet case.
 
its a 500 gig wester digital, when i get a lil more cash i want to get 2 of them :D

as for the case.. i was liking the 3 usb ports the antec, dose the Apollo have any usb ports up front for quick plug n and out? cause i dont see any in hte pictures

Sorry.. internet lagged.

Look at the picture that shows the RIGHT side of the case... I think it has a few
 
nice it dosent say it in the specs but if it shows it in the pic its probly there, i probly dont need that many fans anyhow.. my tower now has 3 fans + ps fan, and honestly its kinda loud. and you saved me 50 $ thanks :D now the question of the mother board O.o

Might as well throw in my suggestion to you on your hard drive...


Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache ($144.99)

-Use the money I saved you for case for the extra $30 and put it to good use. Nicely sized HDD and great Cache.
