I have a 500 gig hd that i will use from my old desktop, as well as a corsair psu (650) and my old gfx card which is a XFX CORE Edition FX-777A-ZNF4 Radeon HD 7770

those 3 things will be the only things kept, im looking to replace everything else with a barebone kit that comes with a ssd drive

yes, you need an OS or no, you have an OS?

i will post a build in about 20 minutes. gotta go to class, but i'll have my chromebook with me
business law boring lol

it will be amd build

how large of ssd do you think you need? can you get away with a 60gb?

yes i will be using windows 7 ultimate edition; i have that alrdy rdy to go

sweet sounds good man, im planning on purchasing from tigerdirect, the links i mentioned prty much my main choices so lmk which one you prefer! planning to order this in the next few hours so it ships by tonight

well the ssd is only going to be for the os and a couple of games but from the kits that ive been looking at, they come with a 128 but a 60 gig should be fine imo

so far my first choice is this kit http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9168315&CatId=31

don't get any of those kit, they aren't good for the price you are paying anyway.

get this intead, and make sure you do the MIR, cos u save about 65 bux.

honestly the cost is very similar but thats cool as hell lol ill see if i can come up with a combo under 350 (its missing the ram )

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9515547&CatId=31

this was another option which caught my eye think i might just go with this

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9515547&CatId=31


ended up buying this, seemed like the best deal; ( comes with a piece of crap psu but i alrdy have a really good one and also have a odd)

thnx for the input guys appreciate all your opinions!

you should have waited. this ssd is larger, has more ram, best bang for buck CPU and a cool case... lol

cancel the order imo
