    Something a bit more reasonable.
    It is completely a silent build cause... I don't know if you care.
    The V300 is a very bad SSD sadly. After the firmware and hardware change to it it became a slightly faster than HDD drive.
    You can change the CPU to i7 4790k.
    Supposedly Skylake is coming in 2-3 months or something so you can wait for that if you want.
