BTW I technically have not got the 4770 yet but my dad will get it in MicroCenter when he goes to America for $270 it is £240 in the UK so it's a good deal. (Same price as the i5 over here)

Also is this case first-build friendly? BTW I chose non-modular because apparently all of the modular cables would not fit through the holes. Also is getting good cable management hard? 16GB Ram for Photoshop.

Want to hope this lasts 5 years

Thanks all

Thanks but then I could not install nay games on it just important programs and the OS then games will load up slower, anyway I though the SSHD's were pretty good.

I agree with sam_p_lay if you see my point
 


I usually recommend SSDs and have never recommended a Momentus, but it seems like a cool idea - fast performance on all 750GB of your data. Know any benchmarks on them?

Thanks, ill upgrade to a Sony, Asus LG, Samsung for about £2-£5 more, bear in mind parts in the UK are more expensive than the states and thats some of the cheapest i could find, i use photoshop and i heard it's a ram eater, if I wanted to get a COrsair 16GB Vegenage LP 1600mhz it would set me back £100.
