Advice on my incoming new shiny :)

[Tanbleeky]

Hello everybody
I have been reading posts on these forums for a few months, but I have only posted a couple of times. However, the time has now arrived to grab myself a new comp as I ditched my old one in April 2011.

Ahh, cheers Ruben

Tbh I had completely forgotten about SSD drives. I did a few quick searches and I'm still not 100% sure. The awesome part is obv the spd, but the realiability has got me a bit worried. I have never owned an SSD before and all normal drives I have had in the past have never failed. I think the drop down to a lower processor is prob the right idea.
I obv went a bit too high with my cooling option, considering my current spec. I probably need to do a little more research on SSD drives before I fully commit to owning one.
Thanks agn Ruben, you have actually given me a better spec and saved me nearly £140

Intel SSD are reliable, I have the 330 and 520. Same speed and performance (from my own experience) but the 330 offers 3 years warranty as opposed to 5 years for the 520 (different ways of processing data thus different warranties). I'd recommend the ssd.
