				| I guess getting twice the storage for 5 additionnal bucks is a good deal. Is the rest of the setup ok? I don't really know about the motherboard. _________________

				| I wouldnt suggest getting a power supply case combo, they are usually really cheap and break. Get a psu from OCZ or corsair. _________________
