Is this a good build?

[charly-man]

I've chose some parts for a build of mine and I would appreciate it if you guys took a look. How long will this rig last for? I'm not asking how long it will run the most recent games at ultra-high settings I'm just wondering how long it will take for it to become hard to game on with low settings.

What would be better: use the SSD as a cache or install the OS + My games? Will it be big enough and if it isn't should I buy another one and put the in RAID 0?

Well the choice of "Green" HDD I would put the OS + main apps on the SSD. The "Green" HDD's spin at about 5900 RPM which is fine for storage but not for any apps or OS to run off of. 120GB will be fine for the OS, apps (office/browsers), and about 3-4 games.

Ok, Then I'm going for the black because it has gotten a lot cheaper

I'll suggest going with a corsair CX 600W over the coolermaster 650W

Anyone know what fans the 500R comes with and where they are? Will they be enough?
