So, while I would still like to add it, I am up against my budget that I had in mind so I opted to use two external HDDs as my back-ups, which I already own. One of which is kept offsite...it's manual, but should work. To help prevent disk failure to begin with, I went with the Caviar Black, which had the best ratings I could find.
That is a good thought. I talked to our IT guy at work yesterday and he didn't seem to think I needed two. But your question has me looking into it. Re-reading this thread has me re-evaluating my motherboard (AM3 not AM3+, only up to 16 GB RAM memory, and RAM at 2000, 1333, 1066, not 1600). So I'll look at multiple video cards too. But company came over, so all this will need to sit a couple of days.
Is this "efficiency under maximum load?" If so, it is rated at >70%. I went for a less expensive, very basic looking PS that still had a "4 egg" rating.
One thing that I already have []
Thanks,
Brant
