    Fiesta 2015 Ecoboost ST or VW Polo 2015 TSI 1200cc???

    Either way its a turbo charged engine. And both will likely need a new turbo someday. Drive both and buy the one you like more. I'm a Ford guy at heart though. Also I am in the USA, so I will probably not see these cars in my market. I also work on cars professionally as a Lube Tech. The Ford is...

    Good SSD brand

    I'd say go with a Crucial or Samsung. Stay away from ssds with sandforce controllers. I am currently running a Samsung 850 Pro 1tb, its nice. I know you said 120GB ssd, but you can get a good 240Gb if you find a good sale. What is the intended use of this SSD? Just as a boot drive?

    Its been 6 years since my last build, rate my next prospect. Input appreciated.

    Nice build. I second getting a bigger SSD- as big as you can afford. I have the 1tb version of the Samsung 850 pro, it does the job and load times are near nonexistent on most programs. For air flow the corsair obsidian are not the best. Take a look at what NZXT has to offer for cases, they...

    Major lag in Metro Last Light

    I had the same problems with performance when I was playing Metro Last Light too. For my fix I forced Steam to patch the game and it was fixed. For some reason the early patches of Metro Last Light just rob performance to the point to where the game isn't playable. Hope this helps.

    Upgrading GPU Few question.

    No it won't run all games maxed out. Get the 4gb version or wait for the next generation.

    Need help building a computer.

    With it being an old dual core 6000+ Amd and integrated ATI 1200 graphics and 1gb DDR2 memory the best option for you would be to completely start over with a fresh build. Don't bother throwing money at a computer that old it isn't worth it and could be better saved for a new build. Here are...
