    Yip without a doubt, not to mention that within 6 months to a year your rig is old and new stuff replaces it.

    Joker, shouldn't you have put a Solid State drive in?

    Anyways, that's what my rig will look like in 2 years time. It will get buttersmooth framerates in Duke Nukem Forever.

    Do solid state drives really make a big difference?

    They are incredibly fast mate!!
    Check the link I posted under the ssd drive and then tell me what you think.
    Only crap is they are insanely expensive. That 80 gig ive got in there is around R6000

    You guys must understand that this is an ultimate gaming rig, its not supposed to make any sense and yes the price is bonkers, but who gives a damn, its something to behold and dream about(if your a geek)

    Up to 250MB/s Read Speeds
    Up to 70MB/s Write Speeds

    Wow that is decent! R6k for 80 gigs, wow that is just insane. But probably well worth it I am sure.

    And that extreme version only comes out as a 32GB drive!!! R11K for a 32GB drive.........

    What I like about SSDs is that they keep their speed no matter how full the drive gets, unlike normal drives.
