Ari Gold Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 You want an extra hard drive that's not an SSD for Data etc, use the SSD for Windows / Large applications and the standard hard disk for everything else./ this is a similar SSD for cheaper price: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/ocz-ptl1-25sat3-128g-internal-2-5-sata-ssd-128gb-12872039-pdt.html?srcid=369&xtor=AL-11&cmpid=aff~HotUKDeals~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshie Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 They love this sh*t on Reddit, see if there's a subreddit for building a gaming PC. I'll have a look later if you can't find it, but suggest reading about on there for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ite, its just that obv some cards can play bf3 on ultra but not at 1080p or whateva, so it depends. Ive got this, the prices have recently dropped i believe http://www.amd.com/uk/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6950/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6950-overview.aspx Processor and GFX card should be the most expensive if your making the pc with the aim of gaming.
