Usually those high performance RAMs are only for OC purpose. Value RAM is for normal usage which I think suits you best.

That SATA cable is a twisted cable. It is for a more neater look.

Just to let you know, before you touch any components, remember to ground yourself by touching the non-painted metal part of your casing or wearing an electro-static wrist strap.

By the way, the rounded cable is also referred as twisted cable so whether it will damage your HDD or not, I'm not so sure about it. However, there are a lot of PC enthusiast using it so...

Yes, but just make sure that you touch the metal part from time to time. If not, you need to prepare to take out another moneh.

RAM and GC more. CPU, not so much about that as the graphic rendering work all goes to the GC.

HeartRoxas,

It depends on your specs, really. Without having to know what is inside your casing it is hard to know whether 550W of PSU is sufficient. In most cases, it is sufficient for normal users. Some of them may have 500GB of HDD but does not have powerful PC and yet a good 400W of PSU also will do the job.

Sorry, I did not read the previous pages. Anyway, your PSU is enough for another 500GB

Can you describe what problems are you experiencing?

How long you been using your HDD? Maybe you might want to direct yourself to BSOD thread where the people there can help you to diagnose the problem.

Depends on how good is the cable management in the casing. If it's really neat then for sure it would help a lot because the fan is able to dissipate the heat efficiently. When it comes to size, normal ones like 80mm have more airflow but has higher noise level. Whereas the 120mm, has low level noise and the air flow rate is slower than 80mm because it is turning at slower speed.

Comments/critics are welcomed.

Better get new one loh, since it's an antique.

I suspect it really comes from your HDD. If it is still under warranty go claim it.

How's your cable management inside your casing? Do you place your casing very near to the wall?

100% connectable on the other 2?

I can confirm that for AGP, I'm using 7300GT which is a lower end for 7600GT does need extra power supply.

How long you been using your HDD? Does it emit those kind of high pitch noise?

It should be normal. Mine is around 40-50c.

I believe it is hardware issue that cannot be fixed. Usually after 3 years of usage or so, the life of a HDD will deteriorate and usually this is one of the early symptom that you should change your HDD.

Would mind if you could explain any further?

Just make sure that you are getting Gigabit router and network card to make it happen.

Another 100,000 kBps increment.

You can ask simple questions in here but not that kind you ask lah... Unless you really don't know.

You can find this easily on the net.

I do not think there is a limitation for a PC in terms of storage space. But of course, if you are talking about RAM then that is different story.
