What is the PSU? For a 24-7 server/workstation this becomes a critical component and other than your SSD a cause of early failure. Buy something with good quality capacitors (Japanese), or be prepared to get your soldering out in the not too distant future. > - Gigabit GA-78LMT-USB3 w/DDR3, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan > - Samsung 850 EVO Series Solid State Drive 1-TB Will you be eating up as much as 1-TB of data on a day to day basis? I would suggest you buy two SSDs and set up a RAID1, to guard against SSD failure, plus a spinning drive for filesystems that are re-written frequently (e.g. application caches), critical data and back ups. > - LG GH240 SuperMulti 24x DVD Writer, SATA (not sure if I even need it)?

I'd save the money and buy faster memory (2133MHz, or 2400MHz), or if speed (O/C) is not important buy ECC memory instead. > - AMD FX-6300 Processor 3.5GHz w/ 14MB Cache A reliable workhorse and easy to O/C, but rather dated and overtaken both in performance and economy by Intel's products. If economy features in your requirements and you don't do heavy gaming you may want to consider AMD's APUs like Kaveri. In a few years you will probably save in electricity the small difference in price. You will need a better cooler for either, if you are going to O/C them. > - Asus GeForce GT610 CMS 2GB PCI-E w/ DVI HDMI -- Regards, Mick
