Hi

This is my first time buying anything from here, and I was wondering if anyone can help me out on the internet lan card, i was wondering if i need to get an advanced gigabit lan and wireless card or just the normal 802,11n, are there any differences?, just in case iv got a 20mbit connection if thats neccesary in the discussion. and is it worth getting the 500gb internal harddrive or just stick with the default 250gb and get an external harddrive. thanks for the help.

I can't see their being a problem with your network card.

As far as the HDD... Do you think you will be able to use 500GB? If you think you will fill up 250GB get the larger drive to save having to connect external drives and paying for a whole 2nd drive, the upgrade should be fairly cheap. I would always advise to get the 7,200rpm model if at all possible. A slow hard drive can make the whole computer feel slow and make it a bit of a bore to use. The 7,200rpm drives will load everything faster and make the whole experiance better for a fairly small cost increase.
