My cousin is wanting to use some of the parts out of my old PC, but there's a few questions I'd like to ask you all before I go ahead and do anything.
I'm looking into getting a new case for myself, so he will be getting my Antec 300 as well..
The proposed build is as follows:
CPU - Q6600
Motherboard - Abit IP-35 Dark Raider
RAM - 4GB OCZ Platinum 800MHz
GPU - Zotac GeForce GTX275
HDD - Maxtor 250GB + Corsair Force 3 or Crucial M4
PSU - BeQuiet 430w Modular
Case - Antec 300
I know that all these parts work work fine together, because I used them myself for a good 3 years.
My first question is, if I bought a separate SATA card, would I be able to use that for the Corsair Force 3, with it being SATA6, along with the onboard SATA controller?
He plans to add more HDDs in the future, so it's necessary that both will work really..
Secondly, which SATA card should I go for? This isn't something I've ever had to do myself, so I know nothing about them at all.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer
