Re: Another gaming pc build thread

A 120-240GB SSD is plenty given the above requirements. Add a standard HDD and use the 120GB as cache. Any games you play will be stored on the SSD, any games you haven't played recently will be stored on the HDD - automatically.

Let the system do it for you automatically.

I would get a cheaper motherboard and a cheaper processor and a cheaper CPU cooler (unless you plan on extreme overclocking), and cheaper RAM. I would personally also get a cheaper GPU because the 780 is very poor value for money, but the alternatives are hot and noisy so many dislike them. There's frankly very little difference between the motherboard you picked and one that's half the price, even when overclocking.
