Finally I'm building a new pc, this one I have is junk :/ Stuff I'm putting in :
i5 2500k
GTX 560 ti
8gb of corsair memory
64gb SSD
HOPING this thing will last a while, and I can stream sc2 with it. Shouldn't have any problem maxing out sc2 as well, gun luk purty.
I'm especially excited to try that ssd. I've heard great things about slapping your OS on one.

When I bought mine I was told to get a SSD I thought I would wait for the price to drop before getting one. Instead of getting price drops they just become no longer for sale and the new one takes its place with its price and that.  |

What type is it and how much I'll see what they sell for locally here lol. Cheapest one I found is 64gig is 105$.
If they can make them so they don't scar and go meh data wise (which was something I was reading about no idea if it is true though.) I would pay that amount for it.
But I'm not in any hurry for my computer to do well anything. If anything needs to be faster its me.

sounds good but you need to order a 72 pin chip and a flux capacitor for the cumputer that will allow you to do..... do a motha fawkin barrel roll

This thing pushes a couple hundred jiggawatts by itself, don't even need a flux capacitor.

Nice, Kefka, sounds like it's gonna be good. I've heard some good things about putting your OS and games on the SSD, load times are fast. I'll probably put one in my next PC build, but my current PC will be around for a while probably (and hopefully).

Built the computer tonight....
Oh...my.....lord.
That SSD is AMAZING! Windows loads incredibly fast, it's unreal. The OS zips around at unthinkable speeds, this machine is amazing. Also, I loaded up Starcraft 2 and played a match. That was interesting to say the least. It took a while to adjust from low graphics settings to Extreme settings. Everything looked so beautiful!!
But definitely, that ssd was worth it's weight in gold if you ask me. Absolutely unbelievable.

Nice, good job and congrats. Thanks for the feedback on the SSD, I'll have to pick one up at some point. Enjoy the beautiful graphics of SC2!
