    Provided in link at bottem is the PC I had built for me on ebay. Since I'm getting $200 cashback for this purchase thru microsoft live cashback I thought it was a good value. I would apreciate any comments on my config selection since I can still alter my config. If you scroll further down the link page their is a drop down menu for different components at different prices. Is 8400 a cpu a good choice? This PC will be for playing HD videos primarily, Mostly mpeg2 videos(not blueray disks). I hope on board graphics will be up to par since I selected P5E-VM HDMI. I will be adding a second hardrive later. I just wanted a fast quiet primary hardrive. Should I go for one of their 10,000 rpm drives instead showed on their dropdown list considering it will cost me about $55 more? My fear is that it will be much noisier but since I will be doing all my internet on this PC, maybe the extra speed will really help? Last of all, what OS should I buy? Will one play videos more smoothly than the other? Thanks very much!
