Looks fine for me... you could try to squeeze a SSD in there. Speed gain is just .

that would've been the reason for the z68 chipset. maybe he forgot

Small SSD will be next to utilise the z68''s cache thingy. Or wait until they come down in price.

Do you know anything about these Hybrid drives?

SSD already are quite okey regarding the price?

Have read some articles about the hybrid drives, but cannot remember their conclusion. Nevertheless I'd go for a real SSD+HDD combo.

So a SSD for Windows , and Normal for everything else?

Or use the cache thing ?

Just ordered Case and PSU for now , will order the rest over weekend Let the building begin !

Yeah... SSD for OS (and often used programs).

The components are fine. But the PSU is massively oversized. 400-450Watts is still enough for your hardware. However if you want a silent pc you should reconsider the GPU and case.

Ordered the case and PSU last night :O

The psu was bought thinking of future as i will be more than likely going SLi etc And as far as silent goes , I'm not overly bothered about silent , as long as its quiet.

Hopefully be ordering the rest of the build on monday so if anyone has anything else to say please change it now !

Thanks again

SLI/Crossfire is the shit. Just wait 6-12 months and buy a better GPU.

leave him blacky, he's a bit "beratungsresistent" about that

Just in case it needs a bit more oomph down the line !

If you're the "berater", I'd be "resistent", too.
