Just make sure to clone your 1tb drive to the SSD and bump it down to storage when you get the SSD then your set to go with all the games you listed or closes to set with your budget :P

this is what you want, ssd is no a neccessity and you can add it later, if you add 3 more GB of ram you have to reset your oc, you don't have to do anything to add a ssd later, therefore this makes sense and has more options for you:

Here you go Ticket# 412260 --- Price: $2022 (To see this build click here) Price after current promotion $2022

this can handle your res and can also handle another gpu down the road.

if you don't think you will ever need cf down the road then change the psu to a 750w corsair and that will save you more money.

In a few month buy a ssd and use that for HDD1 for OS/Games/Apps, and push the 1TB to HDD2 and use it for storage. its real easy you just clone the 1TB to the ssd,you can follow my clone guide here

Originally posted by justin.kerr $30 more for a GTX 480? should be $100.00  and yes those 6 FPS will really be noticed for $100.00

More Like $70 if I go dealers choice or $88 If I go with EVGA. Still Feeling this all out to decide which way to go.

Many games don't benefit all that much from an SSD. So the idea is, just load the ones you use the most, and use your HDD for the rest. Office would get a big boost.

The difference with Dx11 games so far has been next to nothing.. maybe in future games, but that is not 100% for sure..

Thanks alot for the build Ideas Going play around a bit more then Move forward from there. I definitly will have to add the 1250 PSU. Id rather have it and not need it incase I change my mind down the line about sli then need it and not have it. Thanks again everyone.
