So I haven't built my own PC in a while and I'm doing so now. Here's what I've come up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/eViA
Essentially my friend said I'll need to update the firmware on my SSD for best performance (basically said it was a must) but that it will wipe the drive. I wasn't aware of this and luckily haven't set everything up yet so I'm glad I found this out beforehand. My question is do any other components need/require/benefit greatly from firmware updates, and are there any catches that I need to be aware of like losing the data on my drive? Thanks in advance!
