Posted November 10, 2015 So after first posting a few days ago I decided to make some changes to my build.

Is this a good build? I don't want to go anywhere over what it already costs so if you think I should make changes please make sure it's not more expensive.

Is it better than a normal hard drive? Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/482691-new-build-redone/#findComment-6475355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 10, 2015 What's the purpose of an SSD? Is it better than a normal hard drive? HDD = Storage over speed SSD = Speed over storage Essentially you could get like a 120GB or 240GB SSD which would be your C drive with windows and main programs installed onto. It improves the speed by a LOT.

Posted November 10, 2015 Wow, nice! Is there any cheap SSD you'd recommend? Most SSD's are pretty decent. Id stick to brands like Samsung, Intel, ADATA, Crucial, Kingston (Fury series) to name a few.
