Need help choosing a new desktop
CanalDigger:
I am definitely going to need storage space now that I remember I need to install Autodesk and a few other programs.
I know SSD's are faster, but this isn't a $1.5k+ build. So maybe just get a 1TB HDD and forget the SSD for now. Or just keep the 500GB HDD and and put those funds for a better card as Saras suggested. At this point in time, I'd be happier with more space than the quality of a SSD.
How about Solid State Hybrid Drives? The specs make them sound good.

give this a read if you're interested in that hybrid drive http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Seagate-Momentus-XT-750-GB-Hybrid-HDD-Review/1474
summary is "its good enough"
the SSD i linked wasnt even 100$ o.o i think you're seeing things.
anyway, any other concerns?
CanalDigger:
Woops, I not sure why but I got this one ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226225 )
mixed up with the one you linked.
I think I just have to decide what kind of storage I ultimately want and continue reading up on things to make sure I have everything correct.

You guys have been a great help. ;D

Come on kitamesume, I doubt even you will get one SSD with that kind of a budget.
kitamesume:
^ the example i gave was my WTB, more like a wish list tho, but with a different case as i like compact cases as i said earlier. so yea if i had that much money i'd be able to get an SSD on top of a WD 1TB black.
Edit: for now i'll seat and wait for haswell in 2013, maybe i could still use my i3 that long at least.
Edit2: canalDigger can you hold for a few more weeks? seems like ivybridge i5-3330 would be releasing in about a week from now, it should be cheaper for a slight reduction in performance.
