Solid State Drives

I'm somewhat amused that they're charging an extra $20 for the "desktop" version which only adds a tray to the mix.
Bluesummers:
Lol yeah...It must be a very valuable single piece of stamped metal. Very valuable indeed.
LTK:
Look what just showed up! Maybe you'll want to go for that Samsung SSD after all, if it gives you such a high capacity.
Bluesummers:
It does look nice...and offers 100,000 IOPS read capability, but the 830 series offers a similar 80,000 IOPS read, and newegg just put it on sale for $90. Compared to the price of the 840, I think I'll snag the cheaper of the two.
EDIT: Dammit...Newegg makin' me cry, they sold out quick.

In my opinion, DIY kits are not always the best way to go. Choosing the parts separately gives you more control over price vs performance. If you need some more help, check out /r/buildapc on Reddit.
And if you want a parts list to start off with, here's a decent one for $600, including KB, mouse, monitor, and Windows.
