Opinion please on this rig set up for BF3. Buying from www.ebuyer.com as they seem to be best value at the moment. I has £800 to spend tops.

I would not argue against buying an ssd, but i will however argue that you can do fine without it, specially if/when you are gaming.
Besides, setting up raid is ridiculously easy and gives a solid performance boost.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it if the money ain't there for it. I've been planning myself an upgrade for a while now, with a limited budget, and I'm not bothering with a SSD.
And it's always something that can be added later if and when you want one.

Its taken me 6 months to save this much so a SSD can defo wait for another few months tbh. The only reason I'm getting a new case is because my old coolermaster  Elite is ghetto modded to fuck with 9 fans & a load of botched up vent holes from my dremel. it looks like something from fuckin Somalia for Christ sake.

Yeah that case with a psu included is a good price as well by the looks of it.

With the Z68 you can get a small SSD and do the intel smart caching with it.

are you planning on getting multiple graphic cards? if not i think you can save a bit on MB - with ASRock Z68 Pro for example - and on psu. maybe that will allow you to squeeze in an sdd drive.
if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.

Mmmm not a fan of Asrock stuff the only MoBo's I have had fail are Asrock & MSI. but will look into cheaper Gigabyte & Asus stuff maybe.
