Kill one of those Hard Drives and use an SSD to boot from. Way faster than any HDD.

You have a $1400 price range, you can probably adjust some stuff to get an SSD

you dont need 16 gigs of ram, or 2 hdds,

TBH, I've never had an issue with Seagate's drives. I've always used Seagate, WD, IBM, and Hitachi.
I've had IBM SCSIs fail, WD SATA failures, an about-to-die drive from Hitachi, but my Seagate deives make a stuffload of noise but still go. I guess everyone has different lucks with drives if that is even a thing.

Just get a 120gb or 250gb samsung 850 evo ssd, the 120gb model is only $50.

You need a sshd for the extra storage.

the 120gb model is only $50.
but you can also get 1tb storage in a slower form for $50

Its not worth it, SSD's speed makes the storage of a HDD for just the OS, obsolete.


SSD for OS and HDD/SSHD for Extra storage is the right way to do it.

I have HDD for everything. :D
Gotta love that rumbling motor sounds they make.

...no they aren't?
I stand corrected, sorry. they do make wd blue sshds though.

my very paranoid friend is looking to pick this up

thoughts? he really doesn't want to raise price in any way
Get a WD Blue instead of the Seagate Barracuda, get an Antec One instead of the Corsair and spend the extra money on a 750 ti, otherwise it's fine: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Chipskate/saved/#view=Th2MnQ

Drop the second HDD and get an SSD instead, drop the second 8GB RAM kit, get a graphics card that doesn't have a blower cooler, get a higher-quality power supply and maybe get a slightly less expensive motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Chipskate/saved/#view=MHpYcf

damn i must've been ripped off cuz mine ain't an SSHD
this is sarcasm m8

So my dummy friend told me to get this nVidia GeForce experience driver for my computer (my gpu is nvidia geforce gtx 960m), and ever since i've gotten it, it's been absolutely awful on my indie games. I want to get rid of the graphics driver and go back to my default graphics driver that came with the computer, but I don't know how to do that. anyone able to help?
