my rigs r for purely gaming and ive learnt that theres
more than enuff potential still left in an AMD rig to
handle games for the next few years. keeping your GPU
sweet along the way tho.;)

you could save quite a few £££ and that could enable
you to get a new monitor and probably still have cash to spare.

my first post i speced an intel and i now im going AMD

im just relaying smart info that was useful to me
in the end its all up to you m8

;)

goodluck m8

Is solid state drive necessary at all?

And is 6GB ram enough for todays gaming etc?
Click to expand...

ive never used 1 before, but the guys say it makes
your os run sick. also if you get a big enuff ssd
you can install your high end games onto it and
see faster game bootup and map load times.
its not pure necessity but a nice boost if you have the cash.

the cheapest SATA 6Gbs SSD is about 130, and make sure
your motherboard has 6Gbs spec. with the amount your
spending im sure it will so no worries. you can also go sataII ofcourse

6Gb memory will fly.

may the build continue lol!

:cool:

I have noticed a big improvement with my SSD on startup and operation, windows loads in no time at all, some goes for programes and drivers.
