Re: Computer setup
I suspect the lack of replies is due to the vagueness of your post. But anyway...
There are PSU calculators out there, have a search of Google, whack in what you're going to be installing and they'll tell you what watts you need.
Quad core - Gigabyte website will tell you what CPU's the board supports.
Graphics - if it doesn't have one on board you'll need a card yes, or if the one on board isn't good enough for whatever you want to do with it, you'll need one.
RAM - you should go for the fastest RAM the board can support. Look it up on the Gigabyte website.
Terabyte drive - yeah, if you want a terabyte of storage buy one. Buy whatever size you want/need.
