I'd do the
CPU + mobo + memory thing, since you're probably doing a decent upgrade, and you're getting the SATA that you need. That is likely the most bang for the buck. Although, I'm curious what $130 gets you.<br><br>

Currently an assortment of 50-200 GB drives that I want to get rid of<br>
before they die. My only requirement is space. Last I checked the<br>
price for 750 GBs was cheapest per GB. Performance, etc. are a<br>
non-issue.<br>
