Except if you want a modular psu that is awesome for cable management and ease of installation. I will never buy any other power supply from now on. It's totally worth it.

if you game, get yourself a solid state drive, use that for any programs you run.

get a regular hardrive for a secondary which you store music, movies, and the such on.

This.

I just rebuilt my media PC and used a 120 GB SSD for the system drive. Load times were around 10 seconds from powering the system on until I installed Acronis disk imaging software. 120 GB SSD will cost you about $40 more than a TB hard drive, maybe less if you keep an eye out for deals and rebates.

I suggest waiting a month or so..new stuff is coming out soon.



New stuff is always coming out. If Rhint went by that mantra the computer would never get built.



The nvidia gtx6xx series is overdue... So it will come out shortly and prices will come down for the 560 and others.

Apple for instance usually releases ipads and macs in march to may, so buying one now will make you out of date in one month.

This is a good time to wait.

Is that the corsair case? I looks messy. I have the corsair 800d (i think) case and its really clean, no dangling cables anywhere.

Its the greatest case.. It would benefit from a few changes but those guys over at corsair were on the right track. I bought it when it first came out, it was expensive but i have no regrets.
