how are the prices in the UK though? for a 80 GB in the US, you're looking around the $200+ mark, and not even for an Intel. whereas for $75 i can get a F1 1TB.FFLink wrote:
Well if he's willing to spend £170 on a GPU he doesn't really need, he can use that money for an SSD that will improve performance dramatically.
Well he'd want an Intel, and 32GB probably isnt enough for programs + OS so he'd have to go to 64GB. Meaning it would cost the big monies (~$700) and isn't worth it. I'd say wait until prices are reasonable on SSDs..Sup wrote:

benchies have shown that the intel SSDs really are the fastest. although unless you're doing just that (benchies), i think OCZ, Corsair, and G.Skill would be okay choices.Zimmer wrote:
Why would I want an Intel? Are OCZ and Corsair not good enough SSDs?

Intel absolutely rapes everything in random write and read which is most important.haffeysucks wrote:

I would say yes, sell the raptor. Invest in F1 or WD black if need more storage..Sup wrote:

A buddy that has a PC store says RAM prices have gone up cos there was a tornado in Taiwan and ships have difficulties shipping components to Europe. OCZ RAM prices went up by 50%. Not sure how its outside mainland Europe21:38] <@[515]Mack> rami so šli spet gor
[21:38] <@[515]Mack> zaradi tornada na taiwanu al tam okol
[21:39] <@[515]Mack> ladje ne morjo plut
