That seems pretty impressive!

PSU is a bit overkill and it would be a shame to have this rig without an SSD.

 

[toxicity_27]

What SSD do you recommend?

 

[PP Mguire]

Whatever is your budget. Samsung 830, Intel 520, Crucial M4, Corsair Force GT, or last but certainly least on my list a Vertex 4. Listed in terms of reliability. Possibly swap the first two but to me they are tied.

Newegg.com - Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Transfer Kit

How's this?

 

[Matt77]

It's good

 

[PP Mguire]

Newegg.com - Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Transfer Kit

How's this?

Write speed is slower than normal, but most Crucial drives are that way. Still a good drive.

 

[toxicity_27]

Can you link me to one that you recommend over the Crucial?

 

[PP Mguire]

This:
Newegg.com - Intel 520 Series Cherryville SSDSC2CW120A310 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - Internal SSD

Or:
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128N/AM 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Notebook Upgrade Kit
