@Cool, I have never used an SSD. I won't be able to tell the difference. That and a 240gb for £10 more than a 120gb? Not bad.

I personally think the price/performance for this buildis very good. If you wanted to do still do the same stuff at a cheaper price, you get a 290x.

Oh, okay. I know my drive is a sata 2, so it won't have been very fast.

You will need a different cooling solution to reach 4.6, however.

@Eh, poni. I think the be quiet heat sink should do fine. If not, I'll use water cooling.

@Rainbow
You mean the stock intel one that makes a calming WHIRRRRR noise as it tries desperately to keep a cpu cool?

@Poni, no. I get a free heat sink with my motherboard which is made by be quiet.

It looks like the cooler master one but the fan looks better.
