I guess you didn't include a monitor or do you have already have 1?
Looks good but I would seriously consider getting a bigger SSD (minimum 120gb) as with Windows and couple of big games on there you will be almost full.

Cheers I'm gonna be using my TV to start with then buy a decent screen when I have the money. I was planning on just using the OS on the SSD and put all games on the HDD would've opted for a bigger SSD but I was already over budget by 50 lol

Once your OS is loaded on that SSD you wont have much room left at all ...would still be better going for a 128gb get one of those very nice Samsungs

 

[iamlegend901]

It will have enough room for it though right ? lol Hope so cause I wanted to purely use that SSD just for the OS and get a bigger SSD later in time for games

 

[foster grant]

Yeah it will fit

And games run nicely from an SSD too


But dont order anything just yet though.....one or two of the members on here who know a lot more than you and I...will no doubt put up a spec or two for you
