Will this spec give me 60fps?

Just a note on SSD, when I was looking they still charged a premium for them in pre built pc's. If you are going pre built then buy the pc and the ssd separately.

Also if your going down this route make sure you install your operating system and the games your playing on your SSD.

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but SSDs have a massive flaw. That flaw is their life-span. On average an SSD will only last for about 1000 cycles. So constant reading and writing to it will wear it down really fast. If you are reading/writing about 10GB per day (which is an average user's usage) then it will only last about a year.

So really you have to weigh up the cost of it. My advise is if your going to have one then get a HDD too. I would definitely never use RAID with them either.

Again my intention is not to outsmart anyone or hate on SSDs as I think they are very useful. But you need to be careful how you use them.

i'm glad you're not spending all that on just getting Mir2 to play well, cos it doesn't need it. And the connection thing is kinda valid as it's no good you being 1000 fps if everyone around you is skipping past cos you're lagging.

Most of it depends on how you install the setup. If you have every toolbar you can find, apple stuff, anti virus, communicators, utube and windows all grabbing attention off the internet - with Mir in a window, the most expensive of rigs is gonna play online stuff like sh1t.

Have a tendance to agree with Violent about ssds on the whole, keep important stuff on a regular harddrive. I don't trust them at all and I use them alot. Atleast when a regular harddrive goes south, you have a chance of recovering stuff.

Wait, what...? Are you joking? The SSDs last much longer than a year with a 10gb write, ha! 10gb daily writes last around 8 years on average, at least on my model. Also, larger the drive the better.

Well I've looked it up and it seems I was correct in my assumption. SSD won't make your game faster, it will make the initial load faster and the load up of any areas but it will not increase performance while playing the game.

You are talking about the top end SSDs there. Most people don't buy the top end ones. Yes bigger drives do change the lifespan as the cycles are a lot longer. Also with increasing tech they will start to last longer. The 10Gb example i gave might be slightly off but it doesn't change the fact that lifespan on a SSD is considerably shorter than that of a HDD. Also factors have to be taken in to what you use them for.
