Usage:Music,video and gaming.

Is this a good time to buy a new system?

I just need a

Graphics card
Ram
Motherboard
Cpu
Psu
HDD

Some people are saying that this is not a good time to buy an SSD.
Should the motherboard sata bug worry me?

I only plan to use one HD and an SSD in the future.

Any suggestions?

Spec me a system please :D

I use it for Music,video and gaming.

The music part I will upgrade my xfi extreme gamer later.Not much of an effect now since I am using an amp.
 
Thanks for the info.

The computer will be used for editing on rare occasions.It is not that important for me.
I like those builds.Btw I do not need a case/monitor.

If I go for a 128gb SSD should I also install the anti-virus,os and games all on it?
How do you keep the performance of the SSD at best?

Thnx for the info on the SSD.

For the cpu I should go for an i5 2500k if I will be using it only for gaming?

Is it not worth buying an i7 2600k for gaming?

I'd say 8GB RAM, is over necessary for gaming... Here's what I'd probably put together for £1150 for gaming specific.

Not sure if you don't need a case or forgot it? Take it out if not, but this is a nice case, so I'd probably start afresh anyway :)

Only ever so slightly over, but has the bigger SSD (which you could downgrade to 64GB for cost)

But yeah Unlock the 6950's to 6970's crossfire.

This is the comparison between crossfire 6950's and a 570

And if you did unlock the 6950's to 6970's this is the comparison :)

But yeah, get the i5, nice and sorted :)

Wouldn't flashing the bios and overclocking the 6950 void warranty?
