Ah ok, get a 120gb for windows and that then, then maybe look at a 240gb one for games at a later date but there definatly worth the extra punt

If you get an SSD, the new Samsung Evo 840 series are fantastic.

I got the NVidia gtx 560 and sounds terrible, like a hair dryer when its pushed

I find its the GFX cards that make it noisy

I run windows on the SSD, all my crap installed on 2tb normal drive

Depends what graphics card it is, and what game its trying to play in all truth.... If its trying to play something like BF3 on ultra, then itll go mental. if its trying to play solataire, itll be fine.

Mines ok at idle, then ramps up when gaming, but I don't mind that. If it was all the time it would soon get swapped lol

Should hear my PC then. I run 2x 7970's, there overclocked to the max + 6 case fans to keep the air flow steady. When on over run it sounds like its about to take off and orbit lol!
