Go to solution Solved by OhhTee,

Okay so if we go for the build that RJSX1 suggested with the MX100 that Oh Tee suggests that should be a good okay build right? :D

If so then I think I am dealt with and I'll mark this as solved when we have the build finalized :D

The SSD is a luxury item that I think everyone should have. Once you go SSD, you'll never go back haha. It increases loading time by a SIGNIFICANT amount in everything. It has faster write/read time than a normal HHD.

Could you get the second build set up with the SSD please? I'm kind of curious what the dent on the budget would be

I edited my post from earlier.

 

"If you really can't afford to go over the budget that much, I would definitely replace the HDD with a the Crucial MX100 256 GB  and just use it for now until you can afford to put a HDD in your system too."

 

Basically, a 128 GB SSD will add about 52 and 76 to the end cost.

This seems like the right idea then, any objections to this build?

To lower the cost, I would grab the MX100 I linked earlier. It is better when it comes to price/performance. They're both great drive, I have the EVO myself, but the MX100 is cheaper for similar performance. :D

 

Basically, for the 128 GB MX 100 you're looking at £937.26 and the 256 GB will put you at £961.43.

You could get a smaller SSD for cheaper if you want :D
