thats gonna be fairly hard to beat. could spend a little less on a case but that'n is pretty nice.

cant beat the price for that psu, awesome deal. plenty enough power for 970sli in the future, with a perfectly capable mobo, good ram, and an amply powerful cpu thats OCable already installed

youll have to spend a little more time with that ssd/hd system, from the users perspective, than you would with just a single drive setup. 120gb fills up a little quicker than youd think. easy to figure out though
