Hi again, @ hybrid2d4x4 Thanks for clearing that up about using two cards. I looked up what I could about the 4770, it looks good, but what I'd prefer is to build the system and not think about it for a few years, so like you suggest, I'll probably go for a slightly "stronger" and more expensive car...

Well first off, thank you all for the replies! @ NeilBlanchard You and hybrid2d4x4 said I could use a PSU with less watts. Since I can get the 550w version for € 40 less I might go for it, but will it still be enough if I hook up 2-3 hard drives and get a second GFX after a few years? If so, then ...

Thanks for all the answers!! If it's slow I think I'll pass. I'm trying to build a moderate to fast system for about € 1.000, so at € 89,00 this drive looked good, but seeing as I'll be using it for the OS and data I don't want the hard drive to be a bottleneck (not that I want any bottlenecks)....

WD Caviar WD10EADS: 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM?

Hi everyone, I have a question about the Western Digital Caviar WD10EADS hard drive. When I google it together with the term 5400 or the term 7200 I get results for both. Reviews from Toms hardware say it's 5400 RPM, but various other sites say it's 7200 RPM, including the shop where I wanted to buy...
