(I will not be using Microcenter, only Fry's, NewEgg, OutletPC, Amazon, NCIX, and SuperBiiz)
Here's the list:
I'm going with the 64 GB SSD to save some money, and because I plan on only using it for Windows 8 and MAYBE one game.
I'm going with the TX3 as its cheaper and I don't see a downside.
(Djangoringo, I am not going to use the UGLY Gigabyte 670)
