Anyone build with a SSD and load the OS on it? Hear it's amazing

It really does take computing to another level.

For comparison purposes, think of a regular HD as a 1.8 liter 4-banger. Then think of an SSD as a 4.4 liter supercharged V8. There really is that much difference.

I have a ssd in my machine, I boot up to the desktop in under 12 seconds, no waiting for windows to load programs either, everything is lightning fast. I will never go back to mechanical harddrives for the main operating system, I do have a mechanical 500gb drive as back up though.

Like someone said, as long as you can understand what parts are compatible it's like putting legos together

Plus there's plenty of knowledgeble people here on the Seum, give a budget and we can give you a list of good parts to put together

They tweak it as much as possible to get you the best performance possible tho. Best Buy does it too.

do you mean they overclock it for you? I think most companies that sell 'gaming rigs' offer that

not to mention all the bloatware that over-glorified dell no doubt comes with
