Hi Guys,

New to forum and pcspecialist. Just ordered a custom build desktop after many weeks of researching and changing my mind on something almost every 15 minutes; I have to say that I can't help but feel nothing but excitement!

Will be using the machine for mainly gaming and editing GoPro footage (GoPro footage was almost impossible to use on my current setup), so i believe what I have chosen will keep me satisfied for at least 3-5 years, if not more, before I need to think about upgrades.

I'm looking forward to discussing games and hardware on here in the future, but now I have to wait at the window for the next 4-6(+?) days for my machine to arrive! :wacko:

MaRK.

If you're still able to I'd swap out the V300 SSD for any other model as the V300's have serious performance issues.

Unfortunately I've already ordered, but if I have any trouble with it I'll just replace it. What kind of performance problems should I watch out for, spyderTracks?

R/w speeds of 50-150mbs whereas its supposed to be 550mbs. It's basically the same speeds as an sshd but ten times the price.

Bugger. Well I'll have to report back what the speeds are when it arrives; hopefully it'll be the 450mbs the specs claim.

Phone PCS now. If they've not started building it yet you can probably change it now.
