SSD

I suggest you post the spec of the whole system with your budget and resolution you gonna be gaming at in the config section and let us help you with the whole thing, I can't tell you how many times people have said "I should have asked you guys on the forum before I purchased".

it all depends on your budget and application, at the end you are looking fast load times of games and apps, for gaming, thats what faster drive will do for you.

if you don't need all that room on HDD1 then the 128GB Corsair CMFSSD-128D1 is a better choice.

1. cause you won't notice the difference between 960 @ 3.7GHz and 920 @ 3.7GHz.

2. cause you won't notice the difference between dual sli 275/285 at that res.

3. again will not notice the difference between cards oced and not.

4. fan enhancement brings noise enhancement and HAF 932 has great airflow stock, touch 2000 is not needed.

5. you will not notice any gains from OS boost.

Edited by DST4ME - 02 Nov 2009 at 10:48pm

better airflow, more room.

at any resolution, once you get to 60 fps then what cards you have in your system won't matter, you won't notice the difference between 60 fps and higher.

LOL well we are just members/customers here, but DS does bent over backwards to make customers happy, so you can bet on that.

congrats and good luck

don't forget to post specs and pics

Edited by DST4ME - 02 Nov 2009 at 11:58pm

well my configs don't have the upgraded fans, so no noise from that, the cpu cooler is not loud either, 90% of your noise will come from your gpu's fans.
