Buying A New Computer

[ja6on]

I would recommend you getting an SSD because you don't actually need a harddrive with alot of disk space. What you need is a responsive computer that can multitask well and a graphics card that can handle multiple monitors. The processor only has to be dualcore and not much higher than 2.3 ghz I guess

This is a thread about a budget gaming build. SSD would not be required. It would be a luxury.

Well, my thought about the SSD was that there wouldn't be need of an upgrade anytime soon with the SSD and also that you would get more power at a relative low cost. SSDs aint that expensive. 120 GB is more than enough for the OS and a few games and other applications

Depends how much money I have at the time, if I have the money I will get the smallest SSD possible and just have Windows, WoW and Adobe Master Collection installed. Then have all my other data on another standard HD.

As for the SSD argument, unless you got the money to buy a big one dont bother. I fell for that trap - 90gb SSD for 90£ bargain (at the time) i installed windows a few games - oh now look its full. So everything goes on a HDD anyway - pointless.

SSD's are a luxury and are not needed in budget builds a 7200rpm HDD is fine.
