Looks like a nice puter. If you get a SSD try to get at least a 128 gb. The reason being by the time you add your OS, possibly couple favorite programs and updates to your OS it is possible to run low on space on a 64GB. Once running low on space the drive will not run as efficiently.

For windows even 128gb will get small in a jiffy. I was shocked to see my win7 folder size in a 3 year old install - 178Gb. Full of shadow copies, backed up patches, service packs and whatnot.

yikes man, mine is only at 168gb with 50gb of music/movies, 8gb of misc crap and 20 games...if i offloaded all the cruft to my secondary drive, maybe 70gb would be used.

The reason I say a 128GB is I made the mistake of buying a 64 gig. Currently I have 50 gig on my 64gb SSD. Windows7 is a little larger then I expected after updates etc. I also run couple other programs on it.



What it boils down to is how the person sets thier computer up for thier personal use.
Heck maybe for someone a 256 GB is to small but yet another a 128 GB would be large enough drive for thier needs.

I know after a partitioned my drive and put aces high on its own everying from sound,graphics,track ir etc improved vastly

It was mentioned that having a separate drive altogether would be even better, and with the falling cost of drives its possible.

I also just put Linux on, still cant see benefits of it though

You will once you learn to use it a bit. You can modify it to your liking, switch desktops on the fly etc. And it's safe to use. With windows you're constantly with a gun to your temple when you download anything from the internet. And I mean anything - even advertisements on any news web site etc 'safe' sites can be loaded with trojan injectors or malware. Antiviruses are useless. 99% of the computers I have seen infected have been running an up to date antivirus. For what I may ask?
