I have been slowly piecing together my ultimate gaming setup over the past few years and I finally feel like its pretty complete. My PC consists of an Intel Core i7 920 CPU cooled by Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, 2 ATI HD 5870's in Crossfire, 6GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, Asus P6T X58 Mobo, 1TB WD 7200rpm HD, All inside a Cooler Master HAF 932 Case. My monitor is a Dell 3008wfp 30" display and my input devices are a Logitech G5 Mouse and a Logitech G15 Keyboard. For sound I am using the Logitech z5500's. I've always gotten great advice on these forums and I was hoping that you guys could help me find products to improve my current setup. I have been considering Kingstons new version of their SSDnow series SSD's. I have been resisting SSD's for awhile due to their high cost but I feel like now the technology is becoming more refined and the prices a little more reasonable. Feel free to suggest better performing replacements for anything I currently own. Thanks.

Buy the corsair or intel SSD. Or wait a bit longer for them to get even more usable. I don't really think anything else can be messed with at this point.
Yep. Thats what I've read. I was only considering the SSDnow series desktop kit because it includes all the things I would need such as the Acronis software and the mounting kit. Also, in the new revision they have added TRIM support and are claiming some improved Read/Write speeds. I'll look around for some reviews before I purchase anything I'll regret later. Will game performance increase with an ssd installed or will I just see decreased boot and loading times?

And if you had the games installed they would load faster off of an SSD. Not bloody likely with only like 60 gigs to work with though.
