Just finished installing windows on my SSD.
HOLY FUCK
This is fast, I might update my previous statement..... maybe get a 250 GB SSD so you can store more (BUT NOT ALL) of your programs on the SSD. SSD's are still not necessary or even suggested for storage of more mundane files like videos, images, etc.
LOL km, have you never used an SSD before? They are a thing of beauty when it comes to access time.
I am doing exactly that now after reading your article. It isn't really necessary to have ALL SSD, especially with the higher prone to failure rate. I'm just going to do 250gb SSD + 1tb western digital caviar black. Should be more than enough for me.
Excidium, thank you for the water cooling suggestion. I will have to buy a cooling solution anyways since the 3930k intel processor doesn't come with stock cooling. Might as well get this since it works well. Thanks!
EDIT: Updated the first post with current things I have been considering and changes. Everything is still tentative and I am more than willing to hear suggestions from you guys about the parts. Especially if performance and price is much better going for another solution. Anything I can do to get price down without compromising a substantial about of performance lose would be nice.
