I want it because of the PSU, the fan on my current one is super loud and makes weird noises sometimes.

Oregon Trail 4th Edition. It used 3 CD-roms and ran on my grape fuity iMac. Also, OS 9 was the best thing Apple ever did. It was ugly as all hell, and had a bunch of useless features, but I loved it almost as much as I love Windows 7. Anyway, I think I played Oregon Trail almost every day in the 3rd and 4th grades. The only other game I have played that much is probably Skyrim, but I don't think I've put as much time into that even.

So I guess I have a tiny chance of winning now?

I have a related question: does what people say here also apply to an FX-4300? I've been wondering about my temps lately, since I've been overclocking.

I wiped my old HDD by accident when I installed my SSD. My cable management looks like the devil's anus.

So, my number 1 is for sure, but #2-4 are all tied, as are #8-11 1. Dishonored 2. Skyrim (with like 30 mods) 3. Civilization 5 (with Brave New World) 4. Kentucky Route Zero 5. Burnout Paradise 6. The Witcher 2 7. Bastion 8. Plague Inc: Evolved 9. Spec Ops: The Line 10. Gone Home (yes I'm a fan of indie hipster bullshit art installments) 11. The Yawhg (for those who are not yet enlightened, this is another indie hipster art installment) This was way harder than I thought it would be.

You two are the best, thank you so much!

Do you mean partitioning the existing drive to back up the files that are already on it, or the files in the ssd? The reason I mentioned that I don't have any spare drives is because I've seen some guides that tell me to reformat the old drive so windows will recognize both, so does that only apply to new builds, or will windows just know that both drives are there after I boot from the ssd for the first time? Whoops, my bad. What you said actually makes perfect sense. I still have the question of startup programs (like my antivirus, drivers, etc.); will I have to reinstall all of these on the SSD, or can I transfer them onto the new drive? Ps. Thank you for replying so quickly

Hi peoples, First off, I'm hoping this is the right forum to post in. I don't have an issue with my current set-up, but I need tech help, and this seemed like the most appropriate place to ask for it. I'm buying a 120GB SSD that I want to install into my existing system. Right now, I'm booting from a 1TB 7200rpm HDD, but I want to put my OS and some startup items onto the SSD. I do not have a drive to back up my existing data onto, so I can't reformat anything. I don't have additional budget for software (in case anyone wanted to reccomend a transfer software or something). My specs (in case they help): OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64 CPU: AMD FX-4300 @3.8ghz GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7790 2GB MB: MSI 970A-G43 HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM PSU: Rosewill Stallion 500W RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 Bios version: A.30 If there is a better place for this post, please tell me. Edit: Another question: once the SSD is installed and the old drive is plugged back in, will all the programs on the old drive still work fine?

It's got a mobile 800 seried gpu, but can still last hours under moderate workload. And I don't have a laptop.

I'm a fan of it being a smartphone. Or maybe the screen size, I have big hands so I don't mind a big phone, and anything above 1080p on something that size isn't a big deal for me. But having a big screen sure is nice for anything.
