So right now i have.. i5 2500k (not overclocked yet) with a coolermaster 212 evo heatsink MSI G43 mobo or 45.. HD 6850 8gb kingston ram.. Is this set up sufficient for most current games? Or should i be looking at upgrading my GPU? Figured that is making the most bottleneck in my build.. is the 2500k still good for the games today?

Alrighty guys, I'll look for the Samsung 840 EVO first when its boxing day, or the M550.. (kinda a samsung fanboy)

so these are the drives i would get.. but need help for my usage! Which would be the fastest? Corsair Force (256gb): http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-force-lx-256gb-2-5in-de-97920-1246.htm Crucial Mx100 (256gb): http://www.ncix.com/detail/crucial-mx100-256gb-sata-6gbps-a6-97624-1246.htm Crucial M500 (240gb): http://www.ncix.com/detail/crucial-m500-ct240m500ssd1-2-5in-240gb-d4-81655-1246.htm Samsung 840 Evo series (250gb): http://www.ncix.com/detail/samsung-840-evo-series-mz-7te250bw-5a-87761.htm Intel 530 (180gb): http://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-530-series-180gb-ssd-b2-88496.htm Crucial M550 (256gb): http://www.ncix.com/detail/crucial-m550-sata-256gb-2-5-inch-34-95464-1246.htm

which drive would you guys recommend? I was looking at drives from samsung, corsair, crucial.. any drives that stand out in particular? Good cost to performance ones?

So the WD black drives speed wont benefit me much if i have a say.. 240 gb ssd with my os? Which SSD should i get in term of spending $100-150? I can wait until boxing day, or when a big sale comes up since i can still live with little room. And i can add another seagate drive down the line or replace it So another question is what SSD should i get?

I'm looking to upgrade my pc with more storage so i have a few options.. 1) SSD (120-258gb looking to spend roughly $100-150) and 500gb hard drive (already have) 2) SSD (same as above) + 1tb WD black drive 3) 1 tb black drive + 500gb seagate drive (already have) Which option do you think will work the best for a gamer? I'm planning to run windows 7, have sata3 mobo. Games i play: Counterstrike GO battlefield 3, maybe 4 in the future or new releases minecraft GTA 4, will get 5 as well assetto corsa a bunch of other medium- small games on steam Might have a few programs like photo shop and video editting for the odd project from school.. What do you guys think will be a good set up?
