RE: My new computer
Up until 2008 there were only HDD (Hard Disk Drives) which consist of mechanical moving platters to read/write data. Then at 2008 SSD appeared (Solid State Drives) which have no mechanical parts and consist of flash (let's say like memory) and thus they are extremely faster than HDDs, durable and less power hungry. However, due to their cost they are not affordable at big sizes just yet. So most people buy an SSD for the operating system and some daily programs/games and an HDD for general storage like games, videos, music etc... Enough with the history lesson, if you need more storage than 90GB (what's left after the OS installation) then but a 1TB HDD for example.
If you need to overclock then you will need a good cooler. This relates to the case of course. The theme of the system is blue but the case is red. Are you sure this is the only case you want?
For the video card, I suggest to go with a 4670K (100$ less) and spend these on a 780 which is practically a beast and will remain that way for 2-3 years or so.
Edit: No need to quote me every time since the conversation at the moment consists only of the two of us.
