I have a couple of threads on here in which i've let people know what bit and bobs I was going to order from the shop somethime this week..

Now out of some of the items i've picked some are saying get them and then theres others saying dont..

I think the easiest way is if some of you can spec me a machine for around £800..

I already have a Corsair HX620 PSU and a couple of 2tb Samsung F1 drives for storage, so I would need everything else including a drive for my operating system, preferably ssd 120gb

Thanks and look forward to seeing some of your specs
 
Whats the usage of the PC? do you need an operating system, monitor, keyboard etc?

Already have PSU, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Operating System, extra hard drives for storage (Just need a ssd 120 for main) then i need all of the other stuff

P.S I was told that the Corsair HX620 which I have now will work in this system so please ignore the Corsair 750 in the previous thread...

Read speeds? Plus the last firmware update made it faster again
Click to expand...

The Corsair shows it as being :-

Sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s
Sequential write speeds of up to 510 MB/s

&

The Crucial Shows it as being :-

Sequential Read (up to): 415MB/sec (SATA 6Gb/s) - 550MB/sec with firmware 0009
Sequential Write (up to): 175MB/sec (SATA 6Gb/s) - 200MB/sec with firmware 0009

Doesnt that show the Corsair being faster according to the specs on the main page or is there something that im not understanding correctly??

Thanks again for the quick responses
