Recommendations for HDD and Graphics card

check_six

I'm looking to update my pc with an extra HDD and a graphics card.

I put a new pc together recently and I'd like to boost it up a little. It currently has an i3 3220 CPU, an AsRock B75 mobo, and a 128GB SSD.

What I'm looking for is extra storage, I suppose more than 1TB, and a graphics card to help out with the games.

The motherboard's onboard graphics are doing fine with the older games I have but I'd like to get some more recent offerings. I like the Total War series so I'd like to be able to play Shogun 2 and the upcoming Rome 2.

Any recommendations?

I use the Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB HDD and it's superb.

Depends on your budget.

Its a bit long in the tooth now though the current generation of drives would be a good bit faster.

Budget? I knew I'd forgotten something!

€150 for the two bits, maybe a bit more if something was really worth it.

BloodBath

Graphics €119

Hard Drive €60

Total €179. Delivery for both is free.

It's worth a bit extra for the 7790 over a 7770 imo. Those total war games are pretty cpu dependant but a decent card like that will help a fair bit.

You could get the card from Aria either. It comes with 3 free games but costs a little more and I'm not sure how much their delivery is but the games are worth more than the card + extra costs.
