If your M Board supports SATA, that's the way to go. I got a 250gb SATA drive for my new system, cost less than £50!!

400w is a bit low these days but that's what I have and have no problems. So long as you're not running multiple devices together, several HDs, DVDs, etc, then you should be fine.

For a power supply this will work nicely for you,
it has sata connects...not to expensive

Most SATA drives come with a 4-to-15 pin adaptor Wink
