[Potty27]

The case is ok, but could get a cheaper one with USB3 on the front.

The SSD is poor value, I'd try and push for a 120GB if possible.

 

[Darkmike]

Cheers mate updated to that card and gone for the 120gb Kingston ssd and still under 600 quid

Cheers

If it's the £76.99 SSD, one of these for a little extra would probably be a bit more reliable (going by reviews):

YOUR BASKET
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £86.99
1 x Toshiba SSD HG5D Series THNSNH 7mm 128GB Solid State Hard Drive - (THNSNH128GCST) £85.99
1 x Plextor M5S 128GB Solid State Drive - (PX-128M5S) £79.99
Total : £262.57 (includes shipping : £8.00).



I'd go with the Samsung personally, as they seem very reliable.
