   Hey guys, first hats off to Ender's ridiculously informative buying/posting guide(cost:performance ratio ftw)! Lots of great information that heavily influenced this configuration(Ticket 451014            ).

That said, my budget is roughly $2000 and I've already got the speakers, keyboard, mouse, etc..  I've got a 22" Samsung 1680x1050 and a 19" Dell 1280x1024 dual monitor setup if that matters at all.

I'd say I'll be using this computer for 80% Gaming, 10% College work(Word processing, etc), and 10% movies.  The main game I play is World of Warcraft but I'll certainly be playing other games as well (Crysis 2) at high settings if I can manage it. 

The reasoning behind me selecting only a 40gb SSD drive is because I have a 500gb Seagate drive which I'll be transferring for storage.  As a side note I was wondering how I could go about reformatting it (since Windows 7 will be on my SSD, and to clear out all the junk on it) and how difficult it would be to install it myself in the HAF932 case?

	extremely easy to install an extra HD for what you are looking to do, i would reccomend making dvd backups of everything you want and then install your 500gb drive as storage as soon as you get your pc, and put what needs to be on the windows drive on it, and what doesnt - on your storage drive outside of that, build looks great!

	I'd recommend upgrading the power supply to a Corsair 750w, but other than that looks great.
