Hard Drive recomendations

Is something like this likely to be good?

I was originally looking at the 250GB version, but the 500GB version is only a few pounds more .

I've had the 250gig one in this system for ages, probably over 3 years, perfectly happy with it.

Starting to think about upgrading my PC, I'd like something with a bit more processor grunt and just a general speed boost but cheaply. Unfortunately I'd need to upgrade the mobo for that as I've got a socket 939. Might also need new ram as I've only got DDR. Possibly GFX card too.... maybe I won't bother actually.

J T, search for the Asrock 4core series. I have one running an E7200 as I had left over components I wanted to put to use and it is a great transition board:

This thread has loads of cool info regarding bios and CPU support. I got my board plus CPU for £70.
