Just to remind you all that the prices from ebay are in english pounds. Since im from Cyprus my 2 cheapest suppliers are e-shop and pixmania but im willing to order from ebay as well if its a good deal! Please write your comments on my build and the best possible combo for ssd and ram memory to get for around 350 euro in total! Keep in mind that i want your advice on the memory size bandwidth and latency! Im not planning to OC now but maybe in the future! And for the ssd i just want fast access time for my OS. I have my 1.5TB Seagate for Data and another 5TB including both internal and external drives!

pany - My only experience with ssd's are SuperTalent 32GB and OCZ Vertex 2 60GB, both of which do a superb job for bench work. I have also used Silverstone's HDDBoost with a SuperTalent 32GB which does wonders to speed things up. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/29176-silverstone-hddboost-review.html

As for memory I would go with a 1600 set with the best timings available and something you could easily replace if the need arose. I have no idea what parts availability is like in your area.

Looks like your build will take care of you for some time to come...best of luck!

I really like the crucial c 300 for its sata 3 but i read that my mobo's marvel sata 3 controller doesnt support trim! Anyway i hope they'll make an update to fix the problem in the near future! So now what are ur personal choices on the above ssds and 12GB ram kits for my 350 euro budget? Dont forget to check the ssd comparison review i put in the first post!

hey rickss thanks for the advice. You should check this out for ssd benchmarks!

Also the new ocz revodrive x2 100GB owns (740MB/s Read 690MB/s Write)
http://www.pixmania.com.cy/cy/gr/09216094/art/ocz/revodrive-x2-ssd---100-gΒ---pci-express-x4.html
but its price is way too high!

Anw im building this rig for gaming as well so i might add another 6870 in the future and do some crossfire and will try to get a hyper 212+ cooler and try some OC probably in the summer when i will have the money! I know nothing about memory OC though so which ram kit would be better for future OC?
