Adding a SSD later on to this build

Would it be fine? I hear that the COOLER MASTER HAF 912 has two slots for HDD/SSD's so adding one later would work right? Stuff like transferring windows concerns me the most (using ssd as bootup device and hdd as larger storage). Already ordered the pc so would my warranty be fine if I ordered a SSD on another website and added it later? Would a 64gb SSD be fine for boot up stuff?

The size will be fine and the pcs welcome booklet provides info on how to do a clean installation. Your warranty will not be voided but if there is a issue with the SSD you need to get assistance/help from the 3rd party supplier.

Is the welcome booklet bundled with the PC? Once again many thanks Ruben you've been a great help to me over the time I've been here.

It comes with a little cage (that can be removed if needed) that will take 2x 2.5" HDD/SSD. Additionaly my 912 case came with a plastic converter that will allow you to mount additional 2x 2.5" HDD/SSD in normal HDD slot. SO technically speaking you could fit up to 4 2.5" HDD/SSD in 912 case Hope this helps.

My case pic should tell you what I mean, check this here: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=431&d=1314639749

Yep, you will get a welcome pack with the booklet, all the driver CD's and manuals for anything that came with a manual, and possibly a few extra cables depending what wasn't used that came with various bits and pieces.

Thanks Only changing the motherboard affects whether or not I need to re-activate windows 7 right?

Any Windows reinstallation will force you to activate you windows again. So if you decide to install everything from scratch on SSD then yes you will have to activate it again, but it is really a matter of few clicks.

Same code will work then?
