I've amended by previous spec whist pushing up the cost a bit. I've graded the graphics and changed the RAM.

2 Questions

Should I go for the Samsumg RAM of 1 x 8gb or Kingston 2 x 4gb

Is this HD ok? Or would I be better off going for a 500gb Hybrid?

Thanks

Thanks..I figured it was pointless having a hybrid if I was using an ssd as the boot/os drive

I've realised that there seem to be two options for an mSats.. boot drive or cache drive? Can you advise which is better.. Assuming I've understood it. Thank you
