I don't plan on gaming at particularly high resolutions- mainly 1440x900 to be honest. I'm also curious as to how quiet/loud the computer may be.
I chose the InWin due to size restrictions at home but it looks like a nice case and I'm fairly happy about what's going inside it too (specs wise).

For an extra £10 I could go for the 1.5 TB ... would you recommend it?

Thanks in advance for any replies. :)

tbh i would increase your GPU to 1GB from 768 for a high res :)

I was tempted, but I'm not that much of a serious gamer anyway and after reading different reviews and such, I decided that the 768 would be fine for my needs. :)

oh yeah the standard cooling should be fine instead of the triple copper piping :)

Steve

Ahh, that's interesting. :) Do you think getting the 1.5TB instead would be worth the extra £10?

For the extra £10 I would definitely get the 1.5tb, although I think the WD caviar black's ought to be better boot drives than the caviar greens.
