What you get with the larger newer drives is perpendicular recordin, NCQ ( native Command queuing ), higher platter densities and larger cache. All of which adds up to faster drives. They may not be as fast as the two 160GB drives in Raid 0, but they won't be far behind.
If your going to go Nvidia, the GTX 260 (216) is kind of the sweet spot and a pair of them would do just fine. |
Isn't a 295 just two GTX 260s in a single card? I'd say get the 295 so you'll be set for a while and so you'll have an extra PCI-E slot for future upgrades. |
