Yeah, not sure why I only went with 250? I might see if they can upgrade it.

 

Looks awesome! I have to keep it to a basic outward appearance as my son is like a bloody moth! Any flashing lights and he's going to attack it! ?

Need to do that to my previous computer, and clean up the wiring to make me feel better about it!!  Need to wait until it warms up a bit though, because I really don't want the multiple inches of accumulated dust blown around my house!  LOL

Upgraded the SSD to the Samsung EVO 970 500GB! Only about £40 ish more.?

Couldn't justify an extra £175 for the 1TB. ?

 

Still haven't told the wife yet, treating her to Captain Marvel today so today might be the day... ?

Anyone have a mouse recommendations?

I have been using a Cyborg RAT 3.... since the dawn of time... and I love it, but it definitely needs a service at least. Probably better to replace, but don't know what to get instead.

New rig is all set up. I had to reinstall a few things due to new OS on the SSD....Origin was not cooperating at first and EA support tried their best to help, best solution to avoid a massive fuckabout is just reinstall everything.

 

I cant believe how much faster everything is loading from the SSD! I really thought it was a sales pitch at first, now I'm looking at how much it will be to get a 2 TB SSD..... I'll let you into a secret, it's a lot!!

 

Anyway, some pics of the new set up, on my old desk still ?, for you to enjoy. ??

P.S. I can't bring myself to remove the plastic film off the glass panel.

Yup I need a new SSD also. But the 2TB models are quite expensive. Fortunately that also means the smaller ones are coming down in price fast.

Yeah, I was quite surprised it was only £40 more for a 500GB over a 250GB Samsung evo!

1TB is £216.75

2TB is £430.29

 

I can't justify it at the moment, but will have to look towards raising the funds somehow. It's just amazing how fast everything loads, it's just crazy fast.

You shouldn't need the SSD for storage.  Only really useful for boot times.  Look into a Western Digital Black drive for storage.  You can get the 2TB for around $120 US and the 4TB for less than $200.  

2TB is $109 US - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822236624

4TB, 7200RPM 256Mb cache is $180 US - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=234-000G-000W6

I have been running WD Black drives for YEARS.  VERY fast drives, and VERY durable.

The 5 year warranty on black drives is also a good thing. I had to return a 2TB model after I think 2 years. It didnt die but failed an extended smart test and rewriting with zeros etc didnt fix it. 2TB models were not available so they sent me back a 3TB. SSD for the OS, programs, and things where you need to read/write a lot of data *really* fast. I have no experience with the M2 drives but that is an option in the future when they become a little more affordable.

If hell bent on getting SSD for storage, don't get a m.2.  Get a regular SATA.  1TB is $155  US, 2TB is $345 US and the 4TB is a whopping $735.....

My 3TB WD drive is a black. Paid a pretty penny for it a couple of years back, but it has been good to me.

Now I just need to solve my CD Key in use problem.....

If anyone wants a 2TB m.2 drive, this came through email just now...

Intel 660p Series 2TB m.2 2280 for $199.99 with coupon code "EMCTWUE22" - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167461&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=IGNEFL031919B&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL031919B-_-EMC-031919-Index-_-InternalSSDs-_-Blitz-20167461-S0&ignorebbr=1

The 1TB is only $114.99.  Not bad for either......

 

What's wrong with your "CDKey in use"?  For what game?
