SSD while great and extremely fast for loading OS and applications is not totally necessary. You could save some money there by sticking with traditional HDD's. SSD's are the future in my opinion, but they have a few more years before they start replacing traditional HDD's completely.

I disagree completely-SSD were for the future with X58 chipset or below, with the P67 and Z68 chipset to take advantage of their speed they are for right now and are bottle necked by SATA III speed limitations, not the SSD.

In game tell me who loads faster, the SATA or the SSD. SSD loads faster by about 30 seconds to a minute at the end of a round and that matters to a lot of players. $189-for a SATA III SSD 120gb is well worth the money.

Edit: Everyone seems to hold grudges against the SSD because of price, but ask anyone who is using an SSD if they have any regrets buying it and you'll hear a resounding no. When I hear people say they're for the future or not worth the money that just tells me they haven't used one yet. Ask Chuck, Soulzz, Beaver, Balls, anybody here who has one whether they think its worth having. For fuck sake, even Soulzz finally saw the light and got one and enjoys having the damn thing and he was very adamant about not getting one.

I would get the water cooling that sixer mentioned. I have an earlier model. You can OC with no problems. The SSD I would wait because prices are coming down as capacities are going up. Corsair unveiled the 180GB And 240GB Force Series GT SSDs‎.

Buy a PS3 :D, I will eventually...this will prevent me from having to update my rig every time a good game comes out bye bye PC.

meh i play PS3 when i am at my friend's house. Its boring as shit in my opinion. Online with only 12 players on a server for mw2. A joke.

Other than Netflix and the ability to play with your friends for co -op singleplayer missions its garbage.

Hopefully online bf3 will have more payers then MW2?
