Everything looks fine; you can add an ssd later; I don't use any conventional hardrives anymore, as my files are small. My 60 gb ocz agility 3 works great; clones several times with no issues. I try out microsoft's security updates; if one slows down my system, I clone my old sata drive to the ssd and start over. The old drive was set up as a secondary drive by windows while it was running. Always load windows with only one drive installed, unless you raid it.
