I am a little bit worried about the motherboard, because i read some bad reviews about it so i'm just wondering if anybody of you guys have the motherboard and can give me some feedback on it.

Get a Seagate Barracuda instead of the WD Blue. That's all I would change. I assume you'll get a case at some point lol

 

An EVGA 500w is cheaper BTW

For mobo u can also go with Asus M5a97 r 2.0....thats better...

I think i will buy one later, right now i can't afford that.

Ok.

 

If I have all the mounting hardware for mine I can sell you it really cheap.

Again, not that many EVGA products is avalible here in sweden

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Then that Corsair one is pretty good

[GeekySole9354]

@TheNinjaNextDor Why is a Barracuda better than the WD Blue? Here they are exactly as expensive so that doesn't matter.

[GeekySole9354]

Ok.

Where do you live?

[TheNinjaNextDor]

The Barracuda is faster, more reliable, and is quieter.

[GeekySole9354]

The Barracuda is faster, more reliable, and is quieter.

Ok, then Barracuda it is.

 

BTW i think it's cheaper to buy an 212 here in Sweden than shipping it way over here.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

lol yeah.

 

I've hard a Barracuda for over a year and it's a great drive

I've seen that. It's COMPLETELY FAKE and a bad test. Seagate would be out of business faster than it could sell those drives.

What u r saying can be true mate...but still i've seen seagate drives going down too soon as compared to WD..

So guys, i can't decide between Seagate Barracuda and WD Blue. I need help.

Sometimes. It comes down a lot to the drive you get.

Get the Barracuda, a lot of people would agree. I've had mine for over a year and 4 months of which velroed onto my motherboard tray. It's really quiet compared to WD Blues too. (and faster)

Actually Barracuda has more sequential transfer rates but WD has more random transfer rates....and i think random rates matter more...

I looked up some benchmarks and they are almost the same. lol
