    No clue how to overclock nor do I know if I have the fan to support it. I'm running the stock fan that came with the processor. I have 2 ports in the back and 2 ports in the front but only 1 port on the front works because I can't connect the other usb ports onto the motherboard, my gtx 660ti is blocking the ports. Would the SSD be an addon to to the 500HDD space? Or replace it? Also what would I install on which? I built the thing to play GW2 initially but it has become more of a home computer now so I have many programs installed on the HDD atm and I currently use a splitter but I don't like the look of 4 cords coming front of my PC. I use a mouse and Razer Keyboard(2 ports needed), PS3 Cap Card, headset, wireless internet adapter. That is 6 ports right there. The usb is my biggest issue with my pc atm.

    Typically what you want to do is have a SSD (doesn't even need to be bigger than 80gbs honestly) install your OS on it + a game/programs you want to load FAST, while everything else gets written to your other HDD (pictures, videos/pron, documents, blah blah blah). Then there's quite a few tweaks with folder structures and pathings I like to do to prevent anything writing to the SSD other than what I specifically tell to (also I tend to move my Page files to my HDD, simply because I have 20+ gb of RAM and disable Sleep/Hibernate). Your computer will Boot much faster, FFXIV and any other applications you install on it will run much faster... and you'll love life. SSD upgrades typically feel like upgrading your entire computer for the price of 1 component. Gratz!
