that's more than enough for anything. i would've gone with a 256gb ssd. other than that's great.


the evo series is great. maybe even better than the pro series in the real world which i have.

I need to learn how to do cool shyt wit my pc n try to push it a little bit, but since I built it, I've kinda just let it chillax and keep it easy. Anybody know of a good guide I can look at to get into overclocking n that type of shyt?

Any reason you went with that 2tb green drive? You can save $100 by getting this:

Overclocking is easy, what CPU and GPU do you have again?

the capstone is a great great psu. just the little 450W can handle 2 cards. they're very very efficient cards.
i have a 450W for backup.
i say they're the best bang for buck psu's. i don't even trust rosewill brand cause they're usually not up there in quality.

for my next case i'm planning for either the corsair 540 or something like the d-frame. but money's tight right now.

120 gb fills up quick, breh. I got that size pro ssd, but also a 1 tb harddrive as well. Unless you already mentioned that you got another HD, you're probably gonna wanna cop one asap especially once you get your essentials and shyt installed on there. I put my OS and shyt I use readily on the SSD. games and everything else for the most part on the HD.

that WD 2TB is 5400 RPM, slow as hell mayne

Should have went with the Blue line or copped a 1TB and waited until 2TB lower in price.

Velociraptor line approaches SSD speeds.
