1. i see, okay, i3 it is then.
2. yeah i know it will load faster, but i remembered reading a pc magazine that fps got slight increase with SSD compared to no SSD  hmm.gif
3. hmm, like that might as well i go straight for the 620W, since if really it is a worthy investment. i dont want spend so much for my next upgrade cycle  tongue.gif
4. haha, i know, but USB hubs has issue of uneven power distributions to device(phones, keyboard, etc etc). is there any hub that can power energy hungry devices?

If im not mistaken...with that mobo and casing...u will have 6 usb port at the back and 2 on thw front...that should be enough I think...1 keyboard and 1 mouse...u still have 6 to use...
