Vio1 · 05-27-09, 12:03 AM

cpu e5200
motherboard GA-EP45-UD3L
ram OCZ Reaper 4gb
video card sapphire hd 4850
psu OCZ StealthXStream 500W
tv tuner Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1250
case Cooler Master Elite 310
heatsink Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme

Already have:
30gb ocz vertex ssd
500gb seagate 7200.11
24" dell lcd
Blu-ray drive

What do you think? all these components work well together? Will i be able to play blu-ray vids well? Do i have enough slots (and the right slots) to use these components?

looks like a nice entry/mid machine, good for some games, but mostly htpc

hmm.. If you're going to load vista/ 7 on the SSD, wouldn't it be better to get a 60 gb one?

no, 30 is plenty big for vista/win7

But with programs etc. you want most of your applications to be stored on there right?
