How much will it cost I would take this, if the price is ok. But I think the hardware components are destroyed faster than there will be applications or games which brings this system continuous to its limits. ^^ I've an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz with 4,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (5-5-5-18). If I'm plaing MW3, there are ~ 30-40% ressources used, same with BF Bad Company 2. I'm playing with the GTX 560 from Gainward. No Problems, even Crysis2 runs perfect on HD resolution (1920x1080) and maximum grapic details. But do not take the 560 Ti Phantom (passively cooled). I would not trust any video card, which has not at least one fan. ^^ (my own opinion) Edited March 8, 2012 by DJNightfly Awards

They are much faster drives than what most of us have running now. No heads that spin, it's basically a huge flash drive. Saves everything to a ROM type chip, so no waiting for it to spin up and slow down, and find the spot to read or write to. Also most are more shock resistant, so when you get pissy and kick the snot out of your pc tower, at least your SSD should survive, LOL. I plan on getting one for the operating system drive at least.

It's just 16GB RAM on one side and 64GB SSD on the other side, it's weird. You want a lot of RAM but not more GB on your SSD ^^ About that mate, i guess if you had a SSD, you would know. There is really a BIG difference : No noise, Load system in a few seconds, load games instantaneous... It's why you need at least 128GB, to install your system and main games on it (my opinion).
