Posted July 9, 2014 This is a solid build, though I'd suggest changing the power supply to something that isn't XFX. Edit: I just saw that the SSD is 512GB. Wouldn't it be better to get a 256GB SSD and like a 2TB HDD instead? XFX psu are all built by Seasonic. Unless one really needs the extra space from the start I believe a large ssd is better. It really is hard to describe how much better the experience is when everything is on ssd. Just imagine a system that for the most part responds as fast as one can click. 80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
