Dear Community,

Long story short I'm getting a new gpu this week and noticed my ssd is bloated so I wanted to just reformat it and start over fresh.

I'm sticking with windows 7 64 bit, but besides the windows 7 disc, what software should I download to keep my computer pretty much a strictly gaming pc.

For example
My rig now: gtx 680 sli, i7 3770k, mpower z77, 16gb samsung ram.

Originally I just installed the os, and used msi's all in one driver update program and windows 7 update. I shouldn't need anything else right?

If your SSD is getting full, you need to uninstall apps from it and install them on your HDD. Also reduce the amount of space you have allocated for System Restores. Make sure your downloads and app installs all go onto the hdd.

To reformat the SSD, do it in Disk Management.
