This is my first personal build, and it will be for school work, gaming, and anything else a college student would do.
Can anyone offer an alternative or is any of the hardware poorly rated?
Also I have a 128gb Samsung p830 mSATA drive that I plan on using as a boot drive. I know it's low end for SSD, but it does the job for now.
Thanks for any input!
