Remember to use the Corsair SSD for windows as hard disk are slow than the SSD's, so using a SSD will give a faster boot up and window operations.

thats great thanks very much. i haven't built a pc since 1993 but i guess nothing much has changed.....i'll give it careful consideration. my other problem is finding the money awaiting bank loan

 

[goku1234567890]

XD, i thought you had the budget. If you are short on money i can make another system.

 

[dudestarship]

No i want an upgraded system i have had my current system for 5 years and i want a better one. If finance fails I can save up for 3 months and buy it outright. My system is running fine with 4 gigs of ram but one hdd has failed think other components might be at risk. But i think it will hold together for another 3 months

Hope you save money soon. Cheers and Peace
