OMG I used to have a green as my main drive... I FEEL YOUR PAIN get an SSD and you will literally ball your eyes out with happiness.  A really nice cheap SSD is called the Adata premier pro 128GB.  Which costs $100 approx for a 128GB drive...  I would also recommend if you can to get the Samsung 840 EVO SSD as that one is super fast and I have it and would never look back.  If you had some left over you could get a more higher end cooler like the Noctua NH-U12S, however the SSD comes first priority. My opinion.  Hope this helped :)

Did it have an SSD in it? Still not quite the same since laptops don't have quite the performance potential as a desktop, but it does come close to what an SSD equipped system feels like.

Yeah it did, and as i said in an previous post, it is impressiver, but not something I would spend my money on, if I'm happy with the speed it is now. ^^

Not trying to change your mind, so don't take it that way. But I wonder that a silent ssd holds no attraction if a 7200 rpm hdd is too noisy. Well, it matters not.

 

Go with some lighting and put the rest in the kitty for a gpu upgrade.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

yeah, not trying to sound aggressive either, ^^

I only would consider buying an SSD if they would release atleast a 1 TB version for less then 200$. ^^

(I hope that will be soon enough) ^^

SSD or peripherals, lights if windowed case.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

then get a SSD too, and you'll still have the 5400rpm noise.

Upgrade that psu to a rm series one or get a new a be quiet dark rock pro 2 or just pro I forgot

Totally agree. I own the Corsair RM Series and it's an amazing power supply. It's 80+ Gold and features fully Modular flat cables. It makes cable management way easier then other power supplies.
