I've been wanting to get a new desktop for years, and finally get away from just using my laptop for all the design and gaming I do. The hardest part for me has been picking between sticking with Mac or fully committing to Windows. I've decided to get the best of both worlds and and partition my SSD for both operating systems!

I wanted to post my build list here to double check that everything will be compatible with both the OS, and to ask if you guys have a good way to get both of them on the same SSD.

Please pick at this and let me know what I should swap out or what programts to use to add the OS's. This project is still a few months out due too expenses.

I'd like to point out to everyone that only discussion of hardware compatibility is allowed here at Tom's.
Any discussion of actually installing the OS is not allowed and the ban hammers are primed and ready.

With that being out of the way, Superdude, the V300 ssd is the worste SSD on the market today. Kingston swapped parts after initial good reviews came out and turned a good drive into the slowest one you can find. Grab anything else and it will be better. {now you know why its so cheap}
