Well most of the time you'd have to manually paste things to the HDD, or setting downloads to a folder within the directory of the HDD. When install programs you don't really use often you can just use custom install and direct it to the HDD as well.

You could just stick with Windows 7 64 bit for now and upgrade to Windows 8 or 9 (when it comes out) when the need arises in the future

Hey there again, why did you remove the 1tb storage drive? it's worth getting a storage drive for all your other programs and games etc.

It would be good to have a storage drive so you can move your page file there without using up the read/writes of the SSD too much
(The G.Skill Ripjaws ram was also cheaper than the G.Skill Sniper listed above)

Adding a few case fans for better airflow definitely helps, anything below 85 degrees celcius for a video card is safe

Here's a video about the card

I actually bough that Memory 3 weeks ago already :(
I feel like i should just put everything in the SSD so it would open faster :p

Ohh no wonder haha, it's generally recommended to have Windows, a few important applications, a few games on the SSD and have everything else on a normal HDD

Things like video files, mp3 files and all that stuff should be stuffed onto the HDD as you'd see no real benefit leaving them on the SSD
