nice breakdown.
so this is how much it takes to push gaming to its envelope?
worthwhile but still pricey. experience may be terrific i suppose.

Create a new thread so you don't fill up this one. P.S. spending that kind of money and not investing in a SSD is kind of a waste.

No it's a horrible product that you should never buy.

Definitely buy a 512gb instead.

lol

60GB should do you fine but it all depends on what programs you want to install.

I'd personally got 120GB minimum for an OS drive + games.
