  1. See a cheaper SSD, Kingston hyper x are really good and really cheap.
  2. Put prices, helps alot
  3. why do you need a DVD-RW ? do they still exist :|

Hi,

I updated with the prices, i have a lot of software and other stuff in DVD's, here the online content is very recent.

The SSD is not very more expensive, a Kingston SSDNow V+200 120G SATA III is 92€.

The Hyper X version is almost the same price 99€.
