PNY SSD for bootdrive?

[QuantumBit]

Hi I'm building a gaming PC and for my SSD I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for the PNY CS1311, since its $40, and all I'm going to put on it is the OS and a few games.

Should be fine

Also this is my first build so does this come with all the required cables? Or does my motherboard come with them (msi b150m mortar arctic)

Just stay away from Corsair and some Patriot drives. Can you afford the MX300 275GB for $70?

For 40$ it would be great and your motherboard would include SATA cables.

Most likely only the SSD. You need to get SATA data separately. SATA power is provided by PSU. But then maybe the mobo should have some

You'll need a PSU with SATA power.

Your motherboard should come with two SATA data cables.

Does the CXM 450 have sata power? Is that like a special port the PSU has...?

Every PSU should have SATA power. It's part of the ATX standard.

Just saying, saying something like the PSU coming with SATA power in this day and age is like saying you'd need a motherboard with a socket.. Just saying c:

Oh ok so something like a CXM is likely to come with sata power?

 

Dumb quick question, the ssd and hdd connect to the PSU for power and connect to one of the sata ports on the mobo for data right?

remember when we used molex on drives...

PNY Is a good brand, you'll be fine, mobo almost always comes with sata data cables and any PSU from a not unknown brand will have sata power heheh go for it the pricing is excellent.

I'd rather not. PATA was a nightmare of turbines and dust.

Any modern PSU will come with SATA power cables. And yes, the SSD and HDD will connect to the PSU for power, and each will require their own cable to go to the motherboard (and the motherboard comes with these cables).

ssshhhhh

In terms of the desktop PC, the motherboard will have a socket.

I still have a 200GB IDE drive that may or may not work. Also, that's why I said 'in this day and age'

In terms of your mother, her board will have a socket.
