looks good, but get ya self a decent hard drive as well as the ssd,

I play total war, and the games are massive 180gb isnt alot of space, shogun 2 is over 30 gb itself, I'm sure rome 2 will be aswell.

That should play games excellently, the RTSs you speak of will be in great hands!

If you're going to put the Total War games on that SSD for superb loading times, you'll need another hard drive for absolutely everything else on the PC. So if you haven't got a hard drive either lying around, or in your current computer that you can use (or don't want to use) then you will need to get an extra one.

Also just to note, if it won't be wired to the router you'll need to get a wireless card or homeplugs (alot of people who need wireless don't remember to look at that bit! )
