Hello all
I am currently choosing parts for my new PC build and I have trouble figuring out what would be the best solution performance wise. I do not need a lot of space and a 150 GB or 300 GB Velociraptor would actually be enough for me but after reading how fast the new SSD are I was wondering if that would be a better choice for me.
I only use my PC for gaming (NFS Undercover at the moment) and net surfing but I do a lot of recording while gaming and later compressing and uploading to youtube. I was thinking that maybe installing a smal SSD drive and install the game I currently play on that and then install a HDD like the Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB (or anyone for that matter) as storing for FRAPS while playing. Would that be a better solution for me?
I have read all about how fast the new Intel X-25 SSD is but I think that it is a lot of money to pay at the moment and wondered if any other SSD would do the job nearly as good without the price tag.
Maybe some of you have better ideas to my currently choices as well....
Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R SLI (still something that I am investigating)
Memory: OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Processor: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling S75CF 750W EPS12V SLI NVIDIA SLI Certified
Graphics card/s Gefore 260 (Core 216) SLI
I hope you will help a newbie on this community with these questions.. in advance thank you. Note english is not my 1st language...
