Runs quickly right now but my ssd isn't coming up on my computer, but is on my partition software and under device manager. I have to change bios settings but I'm re-downloading the 64 bit version of windows 7 so it will recognize my 8gb of ram. All parts work as they should though :D

I found a radeon 6850 for a hundred bucks on geeks.com a few months back. Its not a screamer, but it runs BF3 pretty smooth. I definitely need a new CPU fan, the stock one just isn't cutting it. I've heard some good stuff about the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus for a bang for your buck cooler...probably give that a try. Let me know how that SSD helps, probably my next purchase after the cooler.

It's like night and day bro. It's crazy how fast I load games and Windows.
