If you can afford it, an SSD makes a mahoosive difference. Best upgrade I ever made.

I would get a new case before even considering an ssd you need some serious cable management in there!

 

[CPMFW]

yeah an ssd is a nice thing to have
i really like your keyboard...

I have a similar case to this Thermaltake V3. I ripped out the HDD tray and placed my H60 there as well as put a precision fan facing CPU(exhaust) dropped my CPU temps 5-10 degrees was allot of work as the tray was screwed shut with double sided stripped screws. Literally had to bend it back and forth with pliers just to remove it but totally worth it in the end.

+ Better Temps
+ Better Cable Management

- Louder

SSDs make a huge difference, and with the price of them at the moment it'd be rude not to pick one (or two) up

More could be done about the cables...

Never seen that CPU cooler before , how does it perform mate ?

@SnW - Never seen that CPU cooler before , how does it perform mate ? - Well for a 2500, my CPU isnt OCed so im getting around 30c, there is better for cheaper but it was going cheap at the time, also a tip for install if u get one, use AMD screws to fasten it to the back plate, the Intel ones (Silver) dont fit for some reason :S

@Essentian - SSDs make a huge difference, and with the price of them at the moment it'd be rude not to pick one (or two) up - Yeah id love 2 Kingston Hyper X 3k SSDs in RAID0, but atm its not something i can afford, when i had a job was in the build plan but i lost my job so the PC went on hold, case is my main priority then SSDs

@wassupdoc - I would get a new case before even considering an ssd you need some serious cable management in there! - Ino its awful management,the case doesnt allow for much management, the back has hardly any room for my wires, my 24pin cant fit through the hole near it due to hole size etc, but hopefully a new case will sort it hearing good things bout the Stryker

@NRG! - If you can afford it, an SSD makes a mahoosive difference. Best upgrade I ever made. - As said i cant afford SSD, ill probs never go back to HDD when i get a big enough SSD, but with the way the prices are dropping tempted to wait for a 512GB Kingston SSD at an affordable price so i can get x2
