I am upgrading my computer and adding a 120gb crucial ssd sata 3. I already have a 1tb hdd in the system but i want to get my windows and one of my games over onto the ssd so it all boots faster. I also just installed a new cpu fx vishera 8350. What is the best way to get my OS and game onto my ssd without having to reinstall everything and going through tons of hassel. ?

You could follow one of the several tutorials out their on the web. Example: http://www.howtogeek.com/97242/how-to-migrate-windows-7-to-a-solid-state-drive/

Then be sure to take the time to optimize your SSD instead of leaving Win7 use it like it's still a HDD: http://www.computing.net/howtos/show/solid-state-drive-ssd-tweaks-for-windows-7/552.html



Of course, the best way to install Win7 to your new SSD is to do a clean install of the OS following this Guide: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds
