the force GT is about 95 quid, but I think its a touch/quite a bit faster than the 330. Originally Posted by rubensolo

First of all i really appreciate all the help you have given me. The people on this forum are great as i got a lot of help when configuring my computer aswell before buying it. I have nothing but good things to say about PCS and have gotten a few people to buy from here aswell.
After doing a bit of reading from your recommendations i might go with the corsair force gt 120gb.
I would just like to ask one more thing if its ok. How hard is it to install the SSD. Like would i be able to do it myself or should i get someone to do it? Also from what ive read, Should i completely remove my old HD, put in the SSD, install windows on it, then put back in the old one, and format it. Also, when i have the SSD in place, do i just put my windows disc in and it installs normally or do i have to do something first. I have no experience with adding new hardware so have no clue. lol.
