I use a 120gb ssd for daily use, depends how much you need to store on your pc if it's useful or not. | |

the hybrid one is 500GB and its not quite as fast as a true SSD but its far far faster than anything else | |

The problem with SSDs is their relatively slow capacities - I've not seen any bigger than 320GB (and they are VERY expensive at that kind of capacity). | |

SSD needed really, you are just slowing the pc down with "hd's" | |

spec looks alright, i almost went for almost exactly same setup recently, but ended up going for the GTX570 OC, very capable system have ran BF3 on it on high settings and all seemed fine | |

thinking of building a new gaming pc, here is a quick list of parts i have picked, i wont need a monitor as i can use the one i currently have and can always buy another one later down the line, pc will be mainly used for browsing and playing games, not really bothered about overclocking but may want to in the future, here are the bits i have chosen so far: |
