Finally got a new PSU and finished the install today. Powered the PC on for the first time since July. Things seem ok, but I haven't tried to run any games yet, though the PC seems bogged down to me. I think after I get back from work tomorrow, ill do a test run and see how she does. On a side note, why the hell does the forum think im posting this at 7am? Its most assuredly 12am
Im back...sort of

Are you sure you're not the one that's bogged down?

Must be me! Guess I'm just used to the blazing fast speed of life now and everything else seems slow. Newegg is going to like me though. Think I'm gonna get a new HDD and Monitor next week. Really want an SSD too but money is tight

Pick up the 256GB 850 pro and use your old HDD as storage for shit that doesn't need the speed; or be me and live on 256GB of storage (which is plenty), or buy 2 (would be cheaper in 2 separate orders I think - the rebate limit 1 per household, per person, and billing address) and RAID them. http://slickdeals.net/f/7518068-256g…coupons-com?v=1
What size monitor do you need/want?

I agree with commie. Get some SSDs, and if needed, RAID them together. I also have 2 HDDs for general storage because I'm not the only one who uses my computer, but if you're only gonna use it for gaming AND you limit yourself to a handful of games, you shouldn't have any problem with a couple of 256GB SSDs.

Dropped 70$ on a WD 1TB HDD. I want to eventually upgrade to an SSD for my OS and games.

The price on the SSDs are getting cheaper... if you can wait longer you'll only get a better deal.
