    So this xmas I will be doing my PC rebuild so wanted some advice:

    I have picked up the following:

    I5 -760
    8GB Ram
    P55 Itx mobo
    60GB Vertex 2E
    128GB Samsung SSD
    750GB Samsung HD

    Right now my motherboard only has 3 SATA connections and one esata and I'm trying to figure out the best way to setup my disks

    Currently I have the 60GB as my boot disk and the 750GB as my data disk. However I am finding space issues on my C drive hence the aquiring the 128GB SSD.

    So my plan is as follows:

    128GB Main boot disk
    64GB Data disk
    Optical drive
    750GB in external exclosure connected via Esata.

    Does this sound right?

    I'd drop the 64GB data disc personally. I'd rather have my shiny 750GB HDD internally away from possible fingers/friends/dogs lol
