If money isn't a problem I'd get a 1TB SSD. Very solid build otherwise

so you play 10 games at once?

I do not, but I have some games installed on it that I don't play anymore but might play again in the future. So I'm hesitant to delete them because I'll have to re-download them later on then. (I'm on unlimited internet but I get throttled when I DL more than 350-400 a month... f**king ISP)

Damn getting throttled sucks big time :( Yea, im like u, i will not want to delete the game as i might want to hop back in later on in the future and play again.

 

I have a question for the MSI M7 motherboard lol, it doesnt have the AC wifi, which means i have to get a wifi adapter in order for me to connect to the wifi? Any idea wat kind do i need for my 1Gpbs wifi?
