That's why it's the last one.

 

With a SSD can I have windows and my steam games on it and on my hard drive everything else 

Yes you can.

Well done. Thats a nice build.

A SSD is a good idea. You could either go with a small one (~60GB) just for your OS or you go with a bigger one to replace your HDD.

I recommend the Samsung 840 EVO and Crucial MX100 and M550.
But also the Adata Premiers SP610 and SP910 and Corsair SSDs are well made.

Ok then how do you do it is it just like installing windows normally 

You build you computer plug in your ssd, but not your hard drive then install windows normally and plug in your hard drive later. Then you go to disk management and format your hard drive, it's very simple.

Awesome thanks will do. How much of a increase in startup speed is it.

Im thinking of a mid cheap solution for a gaming PC.

 

-(CASE) AeroCool Qs-102 White 

 

-(PSU) Corsair VS Series 2014 "650W"

 

-(MOTHERBOARD) MSI Z97 Gaming 3

 

-(CPU) AMD 8320 Socket AM3+, 3500 MHz, Vishera

 

-(COOLING SISTEM) Corsair H60 Hydro series 

 

-(RAM 8GB) Corsair PC3 - 12800 ˇVengance Pro Red" KIT 8192 MB, DDR III, 1600 MHz

 

-(GPU) EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2048 MB, GDDR 5, PCI-Express™ 16x

 

-(STORAGE 1T) Western Digital WD1003FZEX "Caviar Black" 1000 GB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 64 MB

 

-(OPTICAL UNITE) ASUS DRW - 24F1ST DVD-+RW, Black

 

Everything here costs about 760EUR / 925$ / 595 Pounds

I dont know if the PSU haves enough power for the thing so plas tell me.

And also, Tell me if there are any better motherboards or CPUs for that price. I know Intel is better than AMD but I wanted something cheap. :)

I dont know how a SSD would help me. They all cost over 100EUR and I dont want to go over my 800EUR budget. Also im starting to doubt about the water cooling so do you know any air coollers that are amazing.
