For anyone intending to install the OS onto a SSD these days, I always recommend at least 120/128GB for the size. 60/64GB is simply not enough to contain the OS and a few other programs, at least not for me anyway.

any 128gb ssd going cheap these days ?

4GB is generally fine for an average gamer.

Why have you got 4GB ram in a triple channel board?

 

[vaulsey]

not sure lol
will this dramatically speed my computer or?

 

[Chris-.-]

A SSD will increase boot times and loading screen inside games, if you're having performance issues maybe consider a new GPU.

 

[vaulsey]

so whats the point in me buying another 3 sticks of ram when i could buy 1 more 2gb?

 

[jamesfreddie]

You could do if you can find a single stick of XMS3
