For larger regular hard drive storage, either Seagate or WD are fine, even though there's a slight drop in prices almost a year after the Thailand floods.

For memory, there's regular memory (for most people)and then some high-performance memory that's designed for intensive gaming, some of which require some careful selection and purchasing. Either Corsair, Ripjaws or Kingston are all right.

The PSU is very important to maintain your rig's durability; I'm using FSP Hexa 500w (which is stable), but Seasonic's line of PSUs are the most popular in my country. Selection of PSU depends on the rig's configuration, but the most common are 500-600w with at least 80% efficiency or more; 700-1000w are for the hardcore.

Keyboards and mice? Headsets? Gaming choices include either Razer, Logitech or Steelseries.

For cooling, I'm happy with Deepcool's affordable products (except for the Gamma CPU coolers), but if you wish for reputation and reliability, I'd say Coolermaster.
