I split this off from KillerDragn's sales post so we didn't drag it further off topic.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked to 3.0GHz
4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 RAM
Asus P5E Motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked
EVGA GeForce 8800GT Superclocked (for PhysX)
Intel 40GB SSD (OS)
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (apps)
Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB (multimedia)
Patriot Inferno 100GB (games only)

I tell you a combination of the SSDs and the fact that multiplatform games are accommodating 5 year old consoles are the only reason I can play stuff like Deus Ex Human Revolution with maxed out graphics settings and 1920x1080.

To be honest, you should only upgrade when your machine was obsolete.  Now that I'm finally making cash (kinda), I wanted to update my 5 year old system.  I bought this new rig on labor day.

It's like SSDs.  Do you really need them?  No.  You buy them just to say you have the latest technology.  I see no difference loading WoW from my 2TB than loading WoW from my SSD.  They're both instant.

That's because it's WoW.  It's much easier to see the difference when doing more HDD intensive tasks.  Plus, mine are striped which further increases the difference.  I don't think I've ever gone more than a year without upgrading something on my computer.

I plan on purchasing a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 whatchamawhoosit now and probably a 60gb or 30gb SSD to run Windows off of, and save some more space on it for when BF3 comes out and I hunger for uber load times, use the 1TB for everything else, games, storage, data, videos, music, bulk stuff.

30Gb SSD is going to be a pretty tight squeeze if you are running Vista/7 and want BF3 on there as well.  Just a warning on the Samsung drive (I have two of them), they are a little bit loud for a sub-10k RPM hard drive and they aren't the speediest of drives either.  However, I haven't had any failures yet which I can't say for my SSD's or the last 3 WD drives I purchased.

Don't cheap out on the SSDs either, get something quality, the big three right now are Intel, OCZ, and Corsair. They all have 3rd generation versions of their flagship SSDs out right now, but unless you are dead set on getting SATA III, their 2nd gen stuff should be more than enough for what you need, they usually saturate SATA II so you are getting your money's worth.

That said, my first set of OCZ's failed and were RMA'd.  The replacement set has been going strong but the RMA process took just under 2 months for me to get my replacement drives which is complete BS.  LOL, actually the new ones are exactly one year old, today.
