Q: im considering building a new pc for gaming. im planning on buying crysis, but im also on a budget. Im basing my budgeting on the under $1000 dollar pc from tom's hardware but am making adjustments since that pc seems more geared to the average user, not the average gamer. im kinda stuck on the kind of hardrive i should get, since i have not seen any reviews on which are good for games. a solid state drive is expensive and im aiming for the 100-150 dollar range, so id like to know, what things should i aim for in a drive? Also, what is the advantage of having two drives working side-by-side?
A: Sata Hard drives at 7200 MS is the only thing that should be going into computers at the price you want. If you don't add Sata, you computer will be out of dated in about 6 months. Hitachi, Western Digital and Seagate, Maxtor are good. Sata is faster than anything and there is a big difference between 5,000 and 7,200. Good luck and make sure you get the best RAM
