8800Gtx + E6600 (stock)

I'm wondering, will my 7200RPM Hard Drive slow them down????

I hope you mean 7200RPM....72000RPM would be one CRAZY drive lol.

Don't worry about bottlenecks on your card that much, the only thing that does that is your CPU and your CPU is fine.

Usually this is if you use paging file, and don't have a large amount of RAM

A 7200rpm should be fine, especially if it has 16m cache. I'm using a WD Caviar 16m 250GB 7200rpm HDD with my e6600, and x1950PRO and everything is fine.

Yea the 16mb cache makes a big difference..make sure it's not 8 >.<
