Add a 120GB Kingston V300 as your first drive and move the 1TB to your 2nd drive. Or .. if it fits in your budget get a 240/250GB then you're good to go

Hi,

I have changed the spec in the first post now, that GTX 960 must have changed price overnight.

Tips needed ASAP as I need to order today.

Cheers all ordered.

Went for the £39 case and dropped the graphics card down one to a 750. Total was £526.

Thanks for everyones help.

For a gaming PC I really wouldnt have dropped to that graphics card, the 750 is an entry level card, I'd have dropped the SSD instead.

Agreed. You'll benefit much more from a GTX 960 than an SSD in games. I would amend the order.

Right I have amended the order (hopefully), changed the graphics card to 960 and got rid of SSD and moved 1tb HD to 1st drive.

It actually didn't change the price as the graphics upgrade mush have been similar to the SSD.

Thanks,

Dave
