Don't get a Sata II HDD, get Sata III , i prefer 1TB WD Caviar Black 6.0GB/s
2nd
get OCZ Vertex 2 120gb, not that gskill.
for the Ram. don't get anymore than 6gb. actually 4gb is enough. the only thing why we get 6gb is because for triple channel. getting more than 6gb is idiotic. it will be good as paperweight.
and if you have more money, get 6870.
SATA II hdd dont even make use of the full SATA II. SATA III hdd dont even make use the full bandwith of SATAII. With mechanical drives theres no difference between SATA II and III.
Only difference is a 20usd price tag where SATA II drive is just as fast
The new specification contains the following changes:
* 6 Gbit/s for scalable performance when used with SSDs
* Continued compatibility with SAS, including SAS 6 Gbit/s. "A SAS domain may support attachment to and control of unmodified SATA devices connected directly into the SAS domain using the Serial ATA Tunneled Protocol (STP)" from the SATA_Revision_3_0_Gold specification.
* Isochronous Streaming command Native Command Queuing (NCQ) streaming command to enable isochronous quality of service data transfers for streaming digital content applications.
* An NCQ Management feature that helps optimize performance by enabling host processing and management of outstanding NCQ commands.
* Improved power management capabilities.
* A small low insertion force (LIF) connector for more compact 1.8-inch storage devices.
* A connector designed to accommodate 7 mm optical disk drives for thinner and lighter notebooks.
* Alignment with the INCITS ATA8-ACS standard.
