	64gb is a bit small as an SSD. You might find it hard to load your OS + all your essential software on. Everything else looks fine. Might want to invest in an aftermarket cooler for your CPU. 4.2GHz would generate a lot of heat. ------------------- Maplestory Forum

	Hi tymar896! Crusad3r is correct, the SSD would be good as your System drive, but you would need an additional HDD for your storage. This youtube video is a good tutorial for beginning pc builders. Good luck!

Might want to invest in an aftermarket cooler for your CPU. 4.2GHz would generate a lot of heat. The SSD is only for the OS. I have a 1TB HDD listed for everything else. And I forgot to add the Thermaltake Water 2 PRO that I plan on using for CPU cooling.
