Alright so this Friday I'll be purchasing the remaining components to my PC build (which I'll list below) my final area of concerns are what items I should install on what drives. I know the OS is pretty much a given that it goes onto the SSD, but I also do 3D Modeling with SolidWorks, and graphic design work with Photoshop & Illustrator. Below I'm going to list my PC build, along with the programs/games I be using/playing. If anyone would please just give me a quick what should go where or even tell me if I'll see a MAJOR difference between SSD/HDD for whatever programs/games it would be greatly appreciated..
The Build:
- ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Mobo
- i7-3770k Processor
- 32GB (4x 8GB) G.Skill RipJawz Dual Channel RAM
- EVGA GTX 680 2GB Signature Edition
- Creative Sound Blaster Z Series Sound Card
- 2x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black HDD's
- 256GB Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD
- AverMedia Live Gamer HD Capture Card
The OS/Progams:
- Win7 Professional
- Microsoft Office Home & Business 2013
- 2013 SolidWorks
- Draftsight
- CS6 (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere mainly)
- Cinema 4D
- Sony Vegas 12
The Games:
- Crysis
- Battlefield
- Minecraft
- Call of Duty
- Star Craft
- Elder Scrolls
- and Similar Titles...
..I'm trying to decide if what I have is enough, and if it is enough, I want to know where I'm going to store everything once it's all set up. Like I said I know OS goes on an SSD for the best performance but if there is no massive difference with programs/games being on SSD to HDD, Ill install them all on my WD Blacks and get a smaller SSD for just my OS to save me money & time. I appreciate you all reading this, I'm new to the site and I'm sure I'll post on here again soon enough. I'm just hoping to figure out these final details before Friday morning when I purchase the rest of the parts.
