That is why I originally siad 500 GB I really don't think I would use It depends on how much cash I have left when I'm done with the core components I think actually if I'm going to upgrade anything it should be the memory.

Too be honest I wouldn't even say you'd need a 500GB HDD, I wouldnt even use half of that

Up to you though, me personally, I wouldn't go wasting an extra $60 on another 500GB I wouldn't use

That's what I'm thinking I wouldn't use even 500GB.

your building your own holy... good luck

Yeah it's cheaper, fun, and gives you a sense of acomplishment.

Yeah I would just keep the 500 GB and upgrade the memory. 6 GB's of memory is still a lot though. My computer has 3 GB's and it runs fine. Your computer will be pretty godly with just 6 GB's but it is up to you. Unless you plan on using 20 programs at once then go for it lol. The only thing that I really need more memory for is when I record my videos. On my old laptop with 1 GB it would skip around and sometimes it would be faster and other times it would be slower so depending on what you are going to be doing on your computer it is up to you on how much memory you should get but you can't go wrong by making your computer faster lol.

I hear you man, I have a Pentium 4 in my basement with 512MB running windows xp and even watching youtube makes everything else stops I doubt this would happen with a Core i5 and 6GB memory.

Yeah, 6GB memory is massive I used to have an old crappy PC that only had 1.7GHz Processor, 1GB Ram and a 120GB HDD It failed too be honest but it did what I needed it to do

If you don't mind me asking, how much is this PC gonna cost you all together ?

Currently It will cost around $1000 but the Dell/HP equivalent would cost almost double.

thats alot of money you could be risking by building your own
