Is corsair vengeance 16gb for ram and hitachi deskstar 7k1000.c (hds72101cla332) for hard drive currently the best on market? Please help. Thx
 
What speed is the RAM? Corsair Vengeance is good memory but it comes in different speeds.

That hard drive is slow and has low capacity. A 1TB 7200RPM SATAII drive is old, you should be looking at least for a SATA 6.0Gb/s hard drive, and the difference between 1TB and 3TB for instance is not much. If you want performance, you should be looking at an SSD. Usually people will buy a small SSD around 128-256GB for the OS and some apps, and then use a traditional HD for data storage.
 
I thought the only drives too fast for sataII were the lastest SSD's. I didn't think a conventional HDD, even a SATA 6.0Gb/s compatible hard drive would be much faster on sata3, than it would be on sata2.
Please correct me if im wrong.

No, you're correct, a traditional HD doesn't utilize 3Gbps, however he asked if this was the best hard drive on the market, which it isn't.
 
Ah ok. I just got the impression that the OP was looking for the best conventional HDD, by the example he put in his post, but I agree that 1Tb drives cost to size ratio are usually more expensive than bigger drives.

He was, and this hard drive is not that. They only make SATA 6.0Gb/s traditional HD's I believe, so he would be buying a previous generation HD.

Gskill has some cool looking ram. To be honest, Gskill, Corsair, Kingston, Crucial. Personal preference on what brand really anymore. As far as HDD's go, your better options are Seagate and Western Digital. Get Caviar black 64mb cache drives for Western Digital. Can't go wrong with them. 5 year warranty on the caviar black drives. Seagates only have a 2 year warranty.

Speed. Because they're memory chips and not mechanical components they can make read and write operations a lot faster than a standard ahrd drive....up to almost 6x faster than a regular hard drive.

Warranty is important but besides that performance is priority. So which ram has the best memory and speed? Please guide.
 
Like said get you a SSD drive like 128 to 256gb and a larger mechanical harddrive for storage. For the mechanical stay with Western Digital and Seagate. For the memory we will need to know what motherboard and CPU you decide to get for the best speed. Like said in general GSkill, Corsair, Crucial are all good memory. I have used nothing but GSkill the last like 5 years and have had no problem with it.

I cant decided yet due to I get no answer for what is the best rog gaming motherboard yet.. so far I only know rampage iv black edition is good. But my question is are there better asus rog motherboard out there?
 
Personally, I think you're asking too many questions in too many different sections of the forum. Make one post in the Desktop section asking for help choosing a build and you'll get much better answers.
