In my opinion a 120 GB SSD won't last you long especially for all the programs, software, and games you're going to want to install. I think the next tier in GB capacity is 250 and 480 if i recall correctly.

I'm sitting here with 24.2GB free disk drive on my 60GB drive.

For all the programs he uses he can take the 2TB HDD he wants to use.

Great build. I really like it.

How did you find that SSD?

I just looked it up and found a few tests on it and it seems to be a really nice SSD, especially for its price. Great choice! Now I have to get one of those, too  :lol:

Oh, I almost forgot. THIS is really important:

I found the SSD from a combination of Linus promoting A-Data drives and sorting the cheapest SSD on PCPartPicker

Nice.

Please look at my post again. I edited it.

You shouldn't buy a 650/750 SuperNova Nex

Anyone else notice the overclockable CPU on H97? Please get a Z97 board.

Asus, Gigabyte and MSI make good boards, just don't go too cheap.
