Nah it was for animation and video editing with a little bit of gaming and obviously the general use aspect.

Just a note of caution, the motherboard is probably the single hardest part to change, mostly because it will most definitely involve taking everything else out of your system, depending on what motherboard you upgrade to it might also mean a new processor. Just keep it in mind when you come to upgrade, its not going to be neccsesarily an 'easy' job. Totally doable though :)

Keynes you know alot more about PC's than me. I did not know SATA on motherboard was for SSD.

My motherboard is ASUS® SABERTOOTH Z77: USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, THERMAL ARMOR and I dont have main SSD, only 20GB INTEL® SSD 313 SERIES - SLC CACHE DRIVE FOR SYSTEM / 1st HDD.

Anyway thanks for the info.
