hello folks, I'm building a gaming computer in one week and I was wondering what my setup is going te be. I can either choose for a DVD burner and a 60 GB SSD or a 120 GB SSD alone. I already have a laptop, which means that I won't use a DVD drive for watching movies or pictures on my new computer. But can you install Windows 8.1, all the drivers and for instance Battlefield 3, which still comes with a disk to install?

And the DVD burner will also be the loudest component in my computer, since I have picked the other components as quiet as possible. (Or is there a way to solve this 'to loud DVD burner' problem thing)

is Windows THAT big on a flash drive. I thougt that Windows pre-install was like 3 GB and after the install and a couple weeks of working with it around the 60GB I believe. I do have a 16 GB flash drive with my laptop. Is it possible that I put Windows and all the drivers from the components on this flash drive

I searched for this 'homegroup'and it seems like you can only do this if you have two windows 7 computers. My laptop is Windows 7 and my new computer will be Windows 8.1. Will this be a problem?
