very very very nice,

whats it for by the way?

Can i make a suggestions, with the hdd, up it to a 1tb caviar black drive, will perform alot better than the standard hard drive, you can read about them here

alos i'd consider getting a set of homeplugs instead of wireless, homeplugs send the internet through ya house wiring to ya pc, works like a treat, simple to set up, you need a pair, pcs sell them for 36 quid i think, and it gives you a constant booming wired connection.

Also if you could afford a ssd as drive 1, for ya Operating system then a 1tb caviar black drive, this would be alot faster than the ssd caching setup.

It's just for gaming on multiple screens, decided to future proof while I had the spare money :)

I've been using a 3GB/s SATAII for years now so a 6GB/s SATAIII is already a boost for me, using the SSD Cache just to make things load faster, if it doesnt work then i'mm Cache some of my Ram to make up for it :)

I've got the router on my desk atm, I've been using a Killer 2100 Pro for a while on my old rig, so i'll just move that over, just don't know If i'll move my computer out of the lounge yet :)

I have the P67 and X79 Sabertooth mobo's. You really will not be disappointed. Was surprised to see 32gb ram but I notice you're already thinking about a cache drive, so props for that. My experience of the SSD cache experience is that it is a complete waste of money but your experience might be better (hope so, now I've shot all over it). Anyway, good to see a modular psu chosen, and the AX too. Awesome piece of kit.

I've never used a cache drive, just wanted to try it out really, was only an extra £80 so it's not too bad :)
Yea, I'll probably cache 20GB of my ram even if the SSD works :)

What are you planning on using the PC for, cos 32GB of RAM is an awful lot, also to make use of that amount of RAM make sure you have an OS that can cope with it, for example Win7 Home Edition can only use upto 16GB RAM in total.
