Choose your 1st Hard Drive

You'll need a larger hard drive if you intend storing lots of digital music, photos and videos or if you want to use it for backing up your data.

more infoThis hard drive offers 250GB of storage which is more than enough as the main drive in a system to run the operating system and any applications with plenty of space left over for your data. The 7200rpm speed and 8MB cache on the SATA 2 interface allow this hard drive to transfer data at a speed that is not going to slow down your machine or impede your work.
more infoThe 320GB storage on this hard drive give you extra flexibility to install more, larger programs as a main hard drive, while giving plenty of storage space if used as a second drive in any system.
more infoWith 500GB of storage space you will find it hard to fill this drive on a standard-use system. When used as a second, storage drive, this will give you enough space to store a wealth of music, videos and general data for anyone from an everyday user to a semi-professional image or video editor
more infoIf 500GB doesn't sound like quite enough, and 1TB seems a bit too much or too expensive, then this 750GB drive offers a great half-way settlement. Perfect as a main or storage drive.
more infoThis hard drive offers a massive 1TB (that’s 1,000GB) of storage space to allow you to store or backup as much data as you could possibly imagine. A machine with one of these as a drive will take a very, very long time to fill.
Choose your Graphics Card(s)

A graphics card speeds up the display of information on your screen. Choose a high-end card if you play demanding games or do a lot of photo-editing work.

more infoChoose on-board graphics if you do not require a seperate graphics card for 3d gaming or high-definition video playback.
