Samsung PRO 128G SSD
Corsair H100i cooler
EVGA 550 GTX (existing, works fine for now)

Love the boot speed, got it up to 4.5G OC stable. Huge improvement over my old Q6600 at a total price less than my old system.

Thing boots in NO time flat, 150+fps absolute minimum under max load in CS:GO (all I use the thing for really) and I haven't even tried to OC it.
Why don't you guys get 256GB Samsung SSD?. I got the 128 and it filled up so quickly.
I know its for OS only but when you start installing other Apps, it'll fill real fast.
