ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The BIG question here is about Storage. At start, I wanted to buy a SSD (X25-M) to install my OS and Apps but since I know the new generation is coming this fall, promising cheaper storage, I may be waiting until then to buy one. If I do so, I'm going to Install my games and all on my HDD and transfer them on my SSD in fall. Can I do this ? Sould I reinstall my OS and all of my games instead of transferring them ? Is it really worth waiting for ?
My other concern is about my GPU. I know the GTX 400 series are not the most appreciated GPU here, at Tom's, but I heard some weird problem concerning ATI cards ans Starcraft 2 and that's why I chose the 470. Is it a good choice ? I know I could play SC2 and a lot of games on a 460, but I prefer the power of the 470. Should I buy an ATI card or not ? Which one ?
My last question is about my PSU. Which one should I get if I get a 470 or a 5870 or ...
OH, and is my RAM too high for my Heatsink ?
