if your burning then i would go with the last choice cuz it has 200gb space, and also looks good.

If you are doing any kind of video editing, then wdowsing is correct. Get a 200GB hard drive. Your 40-60 won't do.

hey wozbabldy I would recommend getting a 64 bit pc for future proof. That although is only AMD i dont believe intel has came out with a 64bit cpu but anywayz. If you want to burn things i would recomend nothen under 120gb. That way you have lotz of space to copy stuff. Also you dont have to worry than am i gona run over you know what i mean. I would say go with the last one with the 200gb hard drive. I have almost the same setup and it does great for burning. Hope this info helps.
