For a 24-7 server/workstation this becomes a critical=20 component and other than your SSD a cause of early failure.

I wou= ld=20 suggest you buy two SSDs and set up a RAID1, to guard against SSD failure,= =20 plus a spinning drive for filesystems that are re-written frequently (e.g.= =20 application caches), critical data and back ups. > - LG GH240 SuperMulti 24x DVD Writer, SATA (not sure if I even need it)?

I'd save the money and buy faster memory (2133M= Hz,=20 or 2400MHz), or if speed (O/C) is not important buy ECC memory instead. > - AMD FX-6300 Processor 3.5GHz w/ 14MB Cache A reliable workhorse and easy to O/C, but rather dated and overtaken both i= n=20 performance and economy by Intel's products. If economy features in your=20 requirements and you don't do heavy gaming you may want to consider AMD's A= PUs=20 like Kaveri. In a few years you will probably save in electricity the smal= l=20 difference in price. You will need a better cooler for either, if you are going to O/C them. > - Asus GeForce GT610 CMS 2GB PCI-E w/ DVI HDMI =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart3005395.BaSnfIuo0G Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAABCAAGBQJWPG1JAAoJELAdA+zwE4YebgMH/jPOJeX5xng1HyXzC/t2LZDG uRSnmBq+f8tB27vraiQ/f0fXoRFHG73WfhNEoXUq2vI9NIHVBNg8RDlN+Hybj7pu pr1qi7L5SsE7DdLmCzSdc6gWCndBGzTwEp4bh7Eazqyfj3RS0t6WDsSSqorcSshm xPmoDQR11cotfD2u1IEZWXmmH7rCA06JaUCQzgZGvb3dOdATq2Znk1F4ZvoI+rtm QBtZq+eCmvJJC1F3z/3RmeIqmJXHBFZAAM9EUucZXrv7Ga59OconVGbZSP0rSRKk NWzCLeD/+tuYDyKfsva6i9PO1iwjWJj3JcXh5kgcK/6SBKAHC8NTWpudvv/m2eY= =IHzw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3005395.BaSnfIuo0G--
