first build

[StevenGibson1994]

Hi guys,

I am going to be building my first system at the end of next month. The system will be used for tasks such as gaming. , programming, Web development, vms and browsing the Web.

I have put together this machine below and I am wondering will that machine suit my requirements or will I need to change some stuff.

I dont wish to change the case, I am certain on this case.

It looks great! But you really should get a SSD. It makes EVERYTHING faster. 9sec boot up times, using most programs on a SSD is also INSANELY faster

 

This one is great http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e120bam

I have seen some people say that samsung SSDs aren't as reliable as other for example crucial

But in general we mean just get a ssd. Any size you want any brand you want.

[StevenGibson1994]

Ok I will just get either 256gb or 500gb

no its samsung and crucial that are reliable

intel as well and san disk to...those are about the only good brands in ssd

Except the Kingston V300 series. Those things shouldn't even exist.

So if I was to add an SSD to this build then the build should complement my needs perfectly?
