Looks good, second hdd feels a bit small though, I would probably have gone for at least 500gb but I don't know your needs. I've not been to a LAN party in many years, I used to arrange a few when I was younger though

Well that's mainly just for .txt and .docx files (school work, you know), I have an external hard drive for bigger files. The SSD is for 1 or 2 games that I play more than others. Get into LAN again man, beer and CS:S or DotA/HoN/LoL really ****ing owns

CRAKALACKIN MAN!

Spec looks good, i assume your getting rid of the DVD Drive in replacement of a second HD bay. if you are doing this however i would get a faster 7200 RPM HD, you will notice a great increase in loading times with anything installed on it.

If it was me i would ditch the SSD and just go with the 7200RPM 500GB, thats the set up and my loading times on windows 8 are great.

Id also make sure you picked the silver warranty its and extra £5 but gives you a years collect and return incase you need it.

Hope this helps

Yeah I did. I need it to boot quickly though, and I really like the idea of having an SSD. I'm considering upgrading it to a 7200 rpm 500GB when I need it.

EDIT: The HDD, that is.
