Here's the rig I'm building:
Motherboard: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K872GHU/ref=gno_c...
CPU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPRWAX8/ref=ox_sc_a...
GPU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K699CRW/ref=ox_sc_a...
Ram: 16gb ddr3 ( I'm 85% sure it's ddr3)
Hardrive: 1TB HDD
OS: windows 7
PSU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045L4BJ6/ref=gno_car...


Will having fraps and the games on my HDD and recording them to a separate internal SSD help with Fraps' framerate?
I'm thinking about getting this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E3W15P0/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3Q93IXKL8QM8W

I might install Windows 8.1 on the SSD as well..

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Solution
Yes, by putting a os onto it, that will help you with your boot up times, i'd recommend the samsung evo 840 series or a intel ssd, don't get the kingston v300 series as they have some write/read problems

Exactly :) Think I'll get the SSD,at the very least..like you said,I'll have faster load/boot times.
Would you recommend putting Windows 8 on it as well? I won't be using it as my main drive tho.

Yeah,this is the one I'm getting :) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E3W15P0/ref=gno_c...
And..is it alright to write alot of stuff to it? It'll be mainly used to write fraps files to,so will this break/degrade it quicker?

:DDDDD Oh,and very last question!.. (I know I've overstayed my welcome lol)
Is it a good/safe idea to get an anti-static wristband for when I'm building it?
 
np I dm :) If you have floorboards then you can just build barefoot, don't wear wool clothing and build on a wooden or granite table, if you only have carpet then you can get a wrist strap and attach it to your case, or you can just keep touching the case once in a while to discharge static
