LiteON DVDRW

WD Caviar Black 1TB

Very good buy and value.

I like the GPU a lot, but I may have gone with a different manufacturer, but only because I have no experience with Sparkle.

What about your monitor? 1920x1080 would be the sweet spot for that video card, but it could probably push something even higher-res. If you are only running 1 1920x1080 monitor, don't upgade to an SLI setup. Get an SSD. Excellent bang for the buck on those right now.

Yes Sir, great system.

I echo Dillon - SSD is pretty frickin' sweet. From cold start to up and running and opening programs in around 10 seconds.

As I said in vent - with an SSD I make sure to shut off my PC when not in use and with such short boot times - why not? It saves even what minute extra writes might be put on it (whereas a sleep/hibernate will caused things to get dumped do it).

I never worried so much with HDD - and it really probably isn't all that much of an issue with SSD.

But... once you have SSD - expect to never go back. I use my SSD just purely for OS. Apps/games all go on the HDD; and even doing that they load amazingly fast (7,200RPM drive). IMO it's not worth the extra fractions of a second you'll save in load time to put the wear and tear of games on your SSD. Also, it's nice because you can install the OS to the SSD fast as well (7 minutes or so)... so if it crashes? No problem, just reinstall the OS and be up and running quickly.

Nice setup Parker, but I'll go with the SSD crowd and say you should pick one up to throw your OS on. I just had an HDD die and replaced it with a 64 GB OCZ SSD just to put Windows 7 64 bit on and all I can say is I'm never going back. The thing only cost me like 80 or 90 bucks and I say it was worth it.
