Yeah, i hear ya. I don't know anyone who would.

But the only thing that i see is the Hard drive. If you put a 1TB in that Comp, it would be like taking flash and hooking him up to your computer...not that it doesnt look like that already.

Nice Build, overall. Good price too,. :good:

its a 240 gig SSD Drive, the size doesnt really relate to speed does it? the link above shows its speed of read/write

I would ve passed on 7 and Kaspersky, as you could get Avast For free, and i personally think its one of the best anti viruses out there. But that's my point of view. Windows 7 i've never had a problem with, on a laptop at least. But that's just my preference.

In a way, the size does relate to speed. I actually asked the same question not too long ago, and considering you got one of the newer types of hard drive (SATA's are still around, but are slower than SSD's) it's probably going to be faster, but not majorly.

RoRoYoBoat123 · May 1, 2011

so you think everything else is alright? im just getting something to start out with and then looking for other protections, its only like 40 dollers so im not worried. Also do you think windows 7 64 bit will be of benefit to me?

RoRoYoBoat123 · May 1, 2011

well with SSD's they took out the need for spinning disks, and it writes at like 260 megabites/sec reads at 285, thats over 1 gig in 5 seconds to download. THe only restrictions at that point would be server maximum download capability and the CD's speed of allowing things to be taken off of it

G3N1US! · May 1, 2011

I personally, on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best, say that your computer is a 5. Easily.
Windows 7 should be no problem, but Vista is almost everyone's preference anymore, due to the fact that it's easier to use, i presume. Everything else is above and beyond of what i have seen, yes.

G3N1US! · May 1, 2011
