I have personal experience with all components except CPU and mobo, but played around with many Sandy- and Ivy Bridge combinations, but I would like other peoples input before I recommend the parts.
He's not a tech buff, and when I tried to explain him the difference between a thread and a core he gave up. So no SSD+HDD, the SSHD is fixed
Thanks in advance
