Why the 2 SSDs? If you're running them in RAID 0, it's practically pointless as you won't see much benefit, if any. HD 6670 is too weak for gaming, get a better one probably HD7770 or GTX 650ti or higher.

Yes, one larger 240/256GB drive would be better.

As for the GPU, he probably plans on doing hybrid crossfire, in which it will utilize both his iGPU and the dGPU together.. which should put him up to around the HD 7770.

If it works...

oilpatchdog : Spend some more on a proper discrete video card or just play with the iGPU. Don't bother with Hybrid Crossfire

I Just happened to have two SSD's, I will just run with one. As far as the HD 6670 card goes, I have found no concrete supporting evidence that the A10 can be matched with anything better than a 6670. For the price, wouldn't it still be better than not?

Upgrade your RAM to 2x4GB instead?

I recommend the more powerful card because I don't recommend Hybrid crossfire at the moment. Why waste money on something that doesn't necessarily work in most titles? I suggest just spend money on a more powerful video card (HD7770/GTX650ti) or just settle with the iGPU.

Whats the benefit of 2x4GB over 4x2GB if I plan on overclocking?

I think it's faster... in my head the fewer sticks there are the faster they work if you get me, could be wrong though lol

But don't you think that most titles will see the advantages to the A10 and move towards it making it (somewhat speculative) future proofing to hybrid crossfire for budget build? At any rate, I see your point and I will most likely try the A10 by itself first.
