    I just built 2 identical PCs, but don't know which 1 to keep. Thoughts?

    So, I just built 2 identical PCs. 1 for me and 1 for a friend. After running some benchmarks each PC wins different ones. I don't know which 1 to keep for myself. Either one will be good, but does 1 stand out to you? Any thoughts on other tests to run? Here's what I did and which PC...

    Alright, after some more Googling I seem to have found my answer. Turns out Nvidia's latest drivers do not include support for the 200-series, as well as others. I didn't realize this.

    Okay to use SSD as only Drive?

    I don't have large storage needs and a 500gb SSD would be plenty. But is it your experience/recommendation to not use an SSD for all/only storage? Should a person definitely get a platter/spinning HDD for regular files (documents, photos, music)? I was reading some of the comments on this...
