@ Clius: Great suggestion here.

One question to you: I was thinking, won't VX450 have problem in powering 560ti (specially when it is overclocked)? :unsure:

if you have one HDD then use it rather than buying a new one now. And tell me one thing; Are you using the Graphics card with VX450 currently? If this is stable then okay but there are some reports of poor performance of GTX 560 Ti when used with VX 450 due to less power provided by the PSU.

Since you're not planning to overclock, both CPU and GPU, I guess VX450 is okay but still.....check it out.

I know :cry:. I am trying to sale the VX450 as soon as possible.

4k and above for the harddisk seem too costly to me.
