Yes I know what it does, but in terms of boot, shut down, program loading, or loading in games none of those significantly reduced using my OCZ Agility III. It was only was a little noticeable at times. Even if you had the money for one right now I would have advised you sink it into more RAM or a better GPU before putting it in an SSD.

Anyways, if you don't have any more questions please mark one of Major_Trouble's or one of my posts as the solution so this will no longer be in the unanswered section.

Yea it really doesn't hurt to have it. :) With a minor push of a button you could overclock it to 3.8 or 4 GHz. You wouldn't be pushing the thing at all hardly, probably wouldn't need to increase voltage at all, probably wouldn't be any hotter really or have any issues but still get a good little performance boost.

Like the build but why no SSD? Once you've had one in your system you don't ever want to go without.

I like Gigabyte boards. Not had any issues with them. They may not be the fastest but they're probably the most reliable and stable I've used.

Yeah true, it's just I'm on a budget and I can't spend even a little bit more really but I'll see anyway. :)

I'm going to put a ssd in in the future but I haven't got the money to buy one and there are things more important at first like the CPU and gpu I'd like to spend the money on. But yeah I will put a ssd in in the future. :)

Ohh I see, well its not essential so don't worry about it haha. Besides, on the locked CPU's like that one you can push the clock up just a little bit anyways so no big deal

You seem to know what you are doing, don't really have any more comments about parts, everything looks good. Don't forget btw if you decide you want to go dual monitors you can use the integrated graphics for a second display. I hadn't thought about it till recently but its a better idea if you want to be on the internet or watching a tv show while gaming since it won't tax your system in any significant way, only take advantage of resources that are dormant.

An SSD won't give a performance boost as it's only moving of data it's helping. To expect your machine to run faster is just fantasy. It helps greatly in boot/shutdown times, program loading and searches. Your machine will feel more responsive but it won't run faster. However if you have an old slower drive and configure your system badly you may not see much improvement either.

For a gaming machine CPU, GPU & RAM are the most important items for performance. You could upgrade by adding an SSD later if cost is an issue now but adding it will save the hassle of installing Windows and getting it how you like it etc a second time.

Yeah I know it would be better to get one now but that would mean a cheaper gpu so I'm better off getting one later :)
