I'm running an e8400, 4 GB of DDR2, HD4890m EP-35 Motherboard and 2x 500 GB WD 7200 RPM.
Let's say for the sake of discussion I was to want to do a general upgrade. I take it an SSD would be the most advisable? The system seems to run fine for games, even runs Crysis at 1920 x 1200 on Gamer with playable FPS. Would an SSD be the best way to do it? I'm going to go ahead and overclock the e8400 to 3.6 GHz since I went ahead and purchased an Arctic 7 Pro Cooler and installed it. I'm running Win7 x64 and with TRIM, it really seems as though the SSD would be the way to go.
Reason I ask is NCIX has the 60 GB version of the OCZ running for $199.99 right now with rebate. Seems like a pretty good deal especially considering the SSD thread seems to recommend the Intel X25 series the highest followed by the Vertex, but the 60 GB Vertex is also $100 less than the $299 80 GB X-25 right now.
