Hi and welcome to the forums.

Is your laptop already in building? Might be worth trying to swap the HDD and SSD to make the SSD the primary hard drive (ie the one Windows is going to be installed on). Or give PCS a call to request they install windows on the SSD "2nd drive".

Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm (Saturdays 9am - 1pm)

I have a copy of Retail copy of Windows 7 at home, and will be installing that onto the SSD. The reason I put the SSD as the secondary drive is that the primary drive bay (the HDD) is more ventilated, so I figured it would be better to put the SSD in the lesser ventilated secondary drive bay :)

Do you guys reckon that a GPU upgrade would ever be possible? I doubt it considering the chassis' cooling system.

Hello, i think buy the same pc (except the 12 go of ram), but I'm afraid about the heating of the computer. I wanted know if your pc is O.K for that.

Thanks
