The whole thing runs out to exactly $980.01 after shipping. I am ordering everything Monday. I am a very excited little boy right now.

As you should, that's a tasty rig you got there, kudos!

The SSD is the biggest controversy for me. I would definitely like to have it at the beggining for installing Windows 7 on, but I can't afford both the SSD and an HDD. So it came down to choosing between the two.
I could get a 1tb hdd for less.
But the speed of an SSD is so amazing.
In the end, the reason I decided on the SSD is this comp will be only used for games I am currently playing. I still have my laptop for general storage and auxiliary stuff.
But a 120gb SSD with windows can still handle 3-4 games.
Idk, it's a tough decision.

EDIT: And thanks! I am loving the setup too. It took me a while to solidify.

Id go for the SSD personally, having your op system boot off one of those bad boys makes your pc run like its on coke.

Komrad is correct, that is a tasty rig you have there. -Sits there with wires dangling out of his mouth.-

Yeah, I would rather it be a super clean, fast system. Hard drives slow down over time, and SSD's don't. My plan is to just add SSD over time.

Thanks About! I am so excited!

I suppose for extra storage an external drive could be used. Well your build looks pretty damn solid, so best of luck with it, and I hope for your sake nothing goes wrong. I've felt that horrible pain before

Yeah, I have heard stories. RMA everything!
