Hello,

Unless you have a boatload of money then you would use the SSD for your boot/OS drive and a conventional hdd for everything else.

Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F120GBGT-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) $199.99 and free shipping

Western Digital Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive $149.99

The Corsair SSD has high read/write speeds and at 120gb is great for the boot/OS drive and the Wester Digital will work for everything else unless you want to go to 1tb on the second drive.

The 2nd drive is not a problem I already have a 1TB HDD but I decided to make myself a christmas present and get a SSD for os and a few games

Just wondering does newegg ship for free to Europe?

 

[hell_storm2004]

I think newegg.com only ships to Canada and USA. Look for some local shops or online stores.

No Europe. hell_storm2004 is correct USA or CANADA

 

[leandrodafontoura]

Im unfamiliar with Europes online stores. However, one of the best places is mwave, a store similar to newegg. Mwave's online store doesnt ship to Europe I think, but they have a store at ebay that does. Search ebay.com for "mwave" or "techtreasure" Its the same store, and they are the best store at ebay with worldwide shippping!

I know a few UK stores that are there!

scan.co.uk.
cclonline.com
overclockers.co.uk

cclonline is cheaper than the others i think! I got my Razer Imperator from them.

Also Amazon is in the UK, isn't it?

Is there something u don't know : ))

 

[hell_storm2004]

Amazon/Ebay are more or less spread over the world and are a mix of everything! I just mentioned some pure PC stores!

 

[laovniux]

I'm thinking between Corsair Force Series GT and OZC vertex 3... Which would you suggest? The price is about the same.

 

[nikorr]

OZC vertex 3, since they have a firmware fix for the SSD .
