I'm building this for college. Will probably do some gaming, as well as some multi-thread stuff like video editing, so I compromised between 2 and 4 cores and went for the 720. How does this build look? Would you change anything, and if so, what?
NZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Modular LED Power Supply
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3RPR16004GK
AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Black Processor Model HDZ720WFGIBOX - Retail
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler - Retail
Patriot PE32GS25SSDR 2.5" 32GB SATA II Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Retail
I'm not so sure about the SSD. I really want the fast access speeds, but I'm not sure 32Gb is enough, and I don't really want to spend much more on this system. I'm considering swapping it out for a 1Tb 7200RPM.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Also, what do you think of this all in one liquid cooling system? Looks a little sketchy to me. Might be better than air though.
