    Considering getting an upgrade

    I was messing around with options and would like feedback. I don't know much about computer hardware, so there's probably no way I could build one myself, but help choosing parts for a pre-built would be awesome

    Personally I would suggest different ssd's Intel 520 or Crucial M4 also no point raiding them or having a cache drive to go along with it.
    Get a single 240GB drive if that's how much space you need its more then likely cheaper.
    I actually have 2 force gt 60s and they have been nothing but trouble even after firmware upgrades and registry fixes and even replacement.
