I actually run 2 x 60GB SSD's in Raid 0, things open so quickly - especially PS and LR.

and honestly, overclocking on modern Intel chips is so easy, it's not even funny. You don't need a watercooled system - all you need is a half decent cooler. Look up some settings, and it'll take you 15 minutes to get a decent OC.
Hmmmm. Seems like everyone is recommending the SSD.

What is RAID? I've heard the term before, just unsure what it is. Sounds complicated.

I've tried OC'ing before. I know it's quite easy, but seems I always eventually get the BSOD. Usually while gaming or just at a shitty time. I didn't really notice any gains when I OC'd my Q6600. I had a huge crash and ended up reformatting and everything went back to stock speeds. Ever since I haven't had any issues with BSOD.
