Saint is Building a New Computer!
Kratos:
Very nice build dude. That i7 is going to last you quite a while.
Get input from KM on how he did the OS and Apps to install on separate drives
I need to save up and upgrade as well.
PROTIP: Put a pea size of Arctic Silver 5 on the center of the CPU and just put the CPU heatsink right ontop of it. Why? if you spread it all over the cpu, and then the heatsink, your going to create air bubbles which will make the processor hot.
Im sure major and km agree???

Correct. Even though I typically did the bag on finger technique.

I use a razor blade to spread it evenly (1mm) on BOTH the processor and the heat sink. This ensures a liquid to liquid seal when you press down. Never had any trouble with it :-/

Well, One thing is sure, You won't have to upgrade until 2024 ;)

Thanks for posting that article, KM; really is the only primer on SSDs you'll ever need to read, and by the end I was sold.
Finally caved in and picked up one of these. (Reviews don't get much more extensive than that either. :P)
