    That site is so slowwwww.
    USB ports depend on the board.

    This board looks better.

    Hard drive is slow. You'll have to settle for the WD EALX Blue.

    I wouldn't bother with any of the SSDs available there.

    That site is dreadful. Many items are poorly labelled, it's slow and the selection could be improved.

    Isn't the Samsung F3 that the OP chose basically the go to hard drive in every single build that goes onto this forum.. what's so much better about the WD??? the blue isn't even the top of line model so why would you pick it ahead of the F3 that basically everyone here vouches for?? I know the last thing I'd call my F3 is slow...

    Weird as it sounds the whirlpool forums seem to be the only tech forums in Australia, so they might have some other online retailers (or local) if you want to price up parts, as you are pretty much limited to ebay for any decent pricing out here. And even then it is a lot more expensive than home.

    - and not outright labelled, so maybe they're trying to hide that?
