Hi everyone,
I have just bought a new system (haven't started yet due to a part yet to get delivered) and here are the specs:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2 Dual Channel Kit @ 1600MHz
GPU: MSI R9 290 TwinFrozr 4GB GDDR5
PSU: Seasonic S12G-650 650W
ODD: LG GH24NS95 DVD Burner
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 (non-K) @ 3.5GHz
Motherboard: MSI H97 GAMING 3
Monitor: BenQ GW2255HM 21.5" LED Backlit FullHD
Cabinet: Corsair Obsidian Series 450D ATX Mid Tower
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB MZ-7TE120BW
What I need to know is that should I use the SSD entirely as a boot/system drive with all frequently used essential softwares
OR
Use XXGB as cache and the rest as the boot drive and all?
Please help and also explain the pros and cons of each method. If you can, please tell if there is a better method or something or should I do something else.
Also, please tell me the steps of how to do it.
Thanks in advance and Regards,
t0rch
