Additional Comments: This will be my first build. Will sacrifice performance for reliability and ease of build. Below is my best guess at a system. Would like feedback on if everything will work together and any suggestions on better component selections would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm not sure if I really need a SSD for a boot drive...are they reliable enough? Will this only improve system boot times and the time it takes to load programs?
