Answer
one thing to upgrade is the hard drive. the 5400 rpm is going to be slow. try bumping up to a 7200 rpm hard drive.

Also, if you plan on gaming, i would recommend a better video card. You processor is much much better than the 550ti. With all the money you are spending, i would go for a 6870 or 560ti. they will give much better performance. With all the money youre putting in, you dont wanna bottleneck.

That power supply is a great choice. Cooler master makes great products and you dont want to skimp out on a cheap psu.

I would also recommend getting stand off screws, they help prevent your motherboard from frying if voltage/current (dont know which one) goes from your case. The stand offs are placed between the case and motherboard. You can buy them on amazon for less than $5 but they are important.

If you go onto youtube.com and search in, "newegg tv how to build a computer" there are 3 great videos about building a pc. the first vid is about selecting good parts, the 2nd is about putting them all together, and the 3rd is installing your operating system (most likely windows). I would watch all 3 because the dude really knows his stuff.

GOOD LUCK :)

Can I fit A 2.5in Hitachi internal hard drive in this desktop case?

Im upgrading from a laptop to a desktop and I am curious if I can keep the same harddrive without any problems.

It is a Hitachi Travelstar 2.5 Inch 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA 2, and the case is-

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GQMHBI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

With a Phenom x4 processor and a Gigabyte amd motherboard.

Will there be any problems at all, will it fit? any downside?



Answer
Laptops use 2.5" drives, but desktops use 3.25" drives. You could get it to fit, but you would need to buy an adapter. It looks like two U shaped pieces of metal. You screw them onto the side of the hard drive, then it will fit into a desktop hard drive bay and the screw holes on it will line up. Other than that, it should work fine. Laptop SATA and desktop SATA use the same plugs.
