I've never had a problem with G-Skill. I still got 2 sticks of ddr2 800 oc to 1066 running in my custom build at the house. I still prefer Crucial over G-Skill as they make better ram for ocing and it just seems like you can get higher fsb than you can with G-Skill. Good luck with the build, and I hope it lasts for you.

AMD and Raidmax, now I see why it was $385.

And the beer budget is separate from the computer budget.

BlueRidgeGuy (view profile) | "You should of went with the Samsung 840 evo" I agree. It appears their controller firmware is better than most.
I had a budget of $400 for my build. I came in at $385.

SSD all the way if money is not an issue. People always say the r/w span of a SSD is not as long as a HDD due to flash memory not lasting as long as traditonal platters and etc. Honestly, I've never had any problems with SSD's failing before HDD's, it's always been the opposite way around. You can always get a hybrid drive that's a mix of an ssd and a hdd all in one drive that way you can get the hdd storage with the ssd speeds. You'll pay more for cost per gig for a SSD than you will for a HDD. I believe it's roughly $.70-$1.00/gig of storage.
Bottom line, if you can afford SSD's go that route.

Why? Would have been cheaper & easier to buy another PC
I guess it could be cheaper to build one yourself but it's more of a hassle. You'd have to scour the interwebs for the cheapest parts.
As long as the SSD is compatible with your motherboard I don't see why you couldn't use it.
Order atleast 12gigs of RAM and a swifty processor.

It would be more simple to go with HDD because SSD saves your memory into a flash and IMO is less stable and more could go wrong. I think HDD just writes your date onto a disk magnetically. I think SSD is used more in those hand held devices than desktops but I could be wrong.
Are you replacing your HD in your desktop?
Anyway goodluck

I've researched until my eyes are bleeding and my brain is mush.
It's now time to hear what others have to say.
Enlighten me.
