Thanks for all the replies! After furthur thought, I bought a 64GB (just because that sale to me seemed so amazing I couldn't pass it up) and a 256 GB. I was mostly wanting to know if they would work. I have only had bad experience with SSD so far (I got it when it was very new technology)...

This is the SSD I am wanting to buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147133 SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC064D/AM 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive I checked everything out but being kind of a newbie with SSD, I just wanted to make sure it is compatible...

I did not actually get to do it due to work conflicts. I will update this when I do the upgrade to firmware.

will updated from 0006 to 0007 fix this? I read the things that 0007 fixed and it didn't mention anything about this issue.... I guess I will try.

I have had this SSD for a while now and I am having just a ton of problems. I install Win7 64bit on it and it will work completely fine for two days. After all of my updates are done for windows, the computer will eventually go to a blue screen. The blue screen has to due with something of...

To format, I hooked up the SSD to a friends computer and cleaned it that way. I also switched the SATA ports the SSD was hookedup to. It was hooked up to a 6GB/s port and I switched it to a 3GB/s port. I did both at the same time so one of them fixed it :D. I'm too scared to try the 6 GB/s...

Ok. I have the computer working perfectly. Thank you very much Danny for all the input and help with the build.

I have had this same problem.. Is it really just moving the SSD to 3G/S ports? I guess I never did try that..

Ok... So I installed Win7 on the HDD (Samsung).. Everything is running PERFECT. So I am currently running HDTune(free trial) on the SSD. Is there another test I should be running for a SSD? All other parts of the computer have passed. Memory is fine. GPU was fine. So now I am running HD...

Ya it can't be DVD burned incorrectly because the DVD is directly out of box... I did not do anything with the voltage/clock speed settings. My BIOS may have done something on it's own? I'll have to check that when I get home from work. I have ran memtest86+ all last night and did 15 passes...

I did memtest86+ for 12hours 15 passes. No problems. Even ran the windows memory diagnostic. I am also doing a lot with my HDD and SSD because now I can't even format them to reinstall Win7.. Getting very frustrated. I finally got them to format using cmd prompt and an alternative way of...

I have gotten the SSD to be formatted now. Now when I am installing Win7. A new error occurs when extracting files. Windows cannot install required files. make sure all f8iles required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code: 0x8007045D. Ugh..

I was told to reinstall Win7. I tried doing this and I can't format my SSD and my HDD. I also can't find any help ANYWHERE on how to fix this. I get the format error "Failed to format the selected partition. [Error: 0x80070057]." I have tried various things to try and fix this issue... and...

I tried to format the HDD as well and that will not work. Ugh...

I was trying to fix some problems with my new machine I put together two days ago and was reinstalling windows. I went to format the SSD and it gives me an error saying "Failed to format the selected partition. [Error: 0x80070057]." Been trying a lot of different things... and nothing...

20 hours was an overexageration obviously :D but still can't figure it out. Been trying a day and a half now. I'm thinking about reinstalling windows and just not updating and seeing what happens

I just built my new rig two days ago. I've been using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1. I had not problems until I did all of the system updates. Ten minutes in and I'd receive random 0x0000000000000F reference errors, "Explorer.exe has encountered a problem" whether I'm on Firefox or just...

I'm actually having this problem too and I just built my computer. I'm on Win7 Home Premium 64bit SP1. I have been posting the problem in my thread about the rig I built.

Ok... the computer is still freezing up and it not just in games now. I will restart and at it will boot up again. I get the freezes quite frequently though.

haha it is ok. the HAF922 actually doesnt come with brackets for a SSD though. I need to pick some up. But on my problems I am running into, do you have any ideas?

I finished my build this weekend. Went pretty smoothly putting it together and working through the BIOS and everything. One thing that sucked was that the case does not hold a 2.5" SSD, so I had to use some ingenuity to make it work. I had no problems getting everything installed and up and...

I am putting my computer together now and I am in the BIOS. I changed to AHCI and enabled the SATA ports being used and reboot. The SATA connections are all not being detected still. I need help.

Ok. I will stick with the Corsair 650TX V2. Thanks tony and danny. I just bought the components.

I was hoping to buy this tonight... but I'm still indifferent on the PSU. Danny I hope you comment tomorrow early so that you can put some insight on what I should do. I'm still open for discussion somewhat. I added some HDMI cables for $5 with the monitor bringing the total to $1396 after...

First off I will just say both combos do not have as much memory (Dunno if that is a big deal). Secondly, the first combo has a lot of things I would not like component wise. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have heard bad things about the Western Digital harddrive AND it does not have a SSD in...

Ya. I understand that the mobo Danny suggested would need a completely new GPU. I wanted the mobo you suggested because I could just add another 6950 GPU in the future if I wanted (I don't even know if I will but I would like to have the option.). Secondly, I knew that if I ever got another...

1390.33 with shipping before MIB Haven't bought yet... I want the final "this is good you don't need anything else" before I confirm purchase!

$15 more is definitely worth the possibility of upgrading my GPU capability in the future. And I have read much lately about video cards and that it is a marketing ploy ie Sprint 4G two years ago lol. And no I did not buy anything. If you see what Danny posted originally for my build, he said...

Not looking to upgrade monitor size, but if I look into upgrading to more GPU power, I wont be able to just get another 1 GB card right? I would have to buy a 2 GB card.

So it only has one slot? This means no add-on of video cards right? (I know that is right actually) So should I use this build?

Thank you! I will be buying the components tonight after work. I will definitely hook up via ethernet then.

Also, what capabilities does that MoBo have? (RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc)

I was going to buy the equipment that night, but my wallet got stolen at the gym and I had to cancel all my cards. I finally got all my stuff back. Very very annoying. I was wondering if I should still get all the same stuff or if anything has changed in eight days! I also noticed the...

Thank you very much! (and for the notes too) Is this video card pretty good? I have minimal knowledge on video cards now. The last one I bought was to for playing Starcraft: Broodwars and it was 128 mb nvidia. I'm assuming 1 GB is plenty for games now because suggested requirements on most...

I am brand new to this forum and so far I have looked around and it seems as though great advice is given out, so I figured I would try. I have built computers in the past, but not within the last six years. So if I answer some of the questions badly, please be lenient :) 1) What will you...
