>>254011Ahh, so I would want to install my games, or at least a few of them onto the SSD if I'd really like to squeeze as much out of my machine?
My choice of hard drive is ok to stay?
I don't mind paying a bit extra for a 10-15% boost in...betterness so thats why I'm still curious about getting a K cpu
I have to open the BIOS to enable the extra speed when/if I build this new computer? I'll make sure to remember that. For better or worse, I don't think I've EVER opened the BIOS on this current PC I have so it'll be a first for me as far as I can remember.
but I think my part selection is complete, after all the revisions suggested in this thread, my build has gone from:
$1380 with the i7 and no SSD
$1260 with the i5 and no SSD
to finally $1365 with the i5 and SSD
assuming I dont have to change my hard drive
I feel more confident now in my choices at least and have a better grasp of all these technical terms if only slightly better. Its still up for debate if I upgrade or build a new PC but I really appreciate you all for helping me so far
