Greenish Gaming System thoughts?

niko084 · Jan 14, 2009, 04:14 PM

Antec Earthwatts 500
Asus P5K-E
E7300 @ stock clocks
2x1gb ddr2-800
HD4650
WD 640gb Black

Any thoughts?

I don't want to run the green WD drive simply because it's an ultra low level drive and I don't want failure.

Mobo is changeable, only reason is because I have an extra one, but willing to buy one if it would help.

go for 4gb if possible, less disk usage.
