On topic,

Ordered a Samsung 850 Pro earlier this week as well as a Mionix Sargas 900 Deskmat.

Not that I ordered the 850 Pro thinking it would've been worth upgrading over the 840 Evo, I'm still really surprised at how little difference it made. I only ordered one due to a promo for AC:Unity and to hand my 840 Evo down to a friend, but the real world differences were so miniscule it's even more laughable than I figured it would be. RAPID Mode seems pretty cool (which apparently the 840 Evo had and I didn't know about), but I haven't seen the difference outside of benchmarking.

Gotta agree with Wries... upgrading from one SSD to another is next to 0 noticeable difference... Unless there is a huge size-leap or going from HDD to SSD. Otherwise, don't expect to notice anything.

Like I said, I wasn't expecting much of anything. Didn't upgrade for the performance, just the space. 850 Pro just happened to be a good deal at the time being on sale plus the promo. Just expected at least some sort of difference, Like a second or 2 shaved off boot time or something. Nothing major.

Also, my Mionix Sargas 900 just came in like half an hour ago...going to let it air out since the shit smells like straight up fish but can't wait to enjoy that surface area >.<.

lol impulse buys are always the best buys :P.

get amazon prime, you end up with multiple levels of awesome:

impulse buy with one click ordering
forget about your order and get a surprise when it arrives two days later
christmas present effect because you either forgot what you ordered, or don't know what is in this box

I get this a lot at work... but as I mentioned in another thread, in the UK we get next day with Prime if you order before a given time (usually about 5 or 6 I think)
It's double fun when all the boxes show up at work at the same time on a monday though.

You ask for comments and such, so believe me, you'll get them. :P Not all will be positive, but they won't be purely negative, either.

However here's what I'd say could be different/better:

CPU is overkill for your average WoW-playing gamer. The i5 would have been a better expenditure, thus allowing you a better GPU for more all-around gaming support. The 750 Ti is alright, but still a very entry-level gaming GPU. A GTX 970 would fit the bill better, I think.

I take it both monitors are old? Been a long time since I've heard of a 27" 1920x1200...

Case is a good choice, however it seems you have an absurd amount of USB hubs/other button thingies/media-readers on the front panel in the ODD-area. And do you actually plan on using the Blu-ray feature of the disk drive? Most people just stick with DVD-RW drives, though if someone likes to get blu-rays, I can understand why.

Please tell me your power supply isn't some low quality generic piece of crap. =/ That could prove dangerous to your new toy! However, you're on the road to success with that back up power unit! I have a CyberPower one, absolutely love it!

Any reason for 7 Ultimate? 7 is outdated as an OS now and 8.1 64 bit is literally better in every way. (This coming from someone who was quite opposed to Windows 8, originally.)
