So I've been building/buying this computer for about 2-3 months now and I'm finishing up my last few pieces this weekend, here's the build so far..
MB - Newegg.com - ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
PSU - Newegg.com - CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 (CMPSU-750HX) 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CPU - Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ970FBGMBOX
Case - Newegg.com - RAIDMAX Altas ATX-295WBP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
SSD - Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
I have all that at my house, and this is what I'm ordering soon..
GPU - Newegg.com - EVGA 012-P3-2068-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 448 Cores Classified 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
OS - Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - Operating Systems
DVD Drive - Newegg.com - ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS - CD / DVD Burners
I'm pretty sure it's all compatible, if not let me know, but as for my question. I was told to just use my SSD for storage of everything until the prices for HDD's recede at least a little bit, so I bought the 120gb SSD. Is it gonna be enough space or should I try to scrounge up another $150 or so for a decent HDD? I'm just scared that Win7 and a few games (WoW, SWTOR, LoL) might fill up my SSD too fast, but I could be mistaken.
If I do need an HDD, I was looking at either..
