An SSD is mainly beneficial with productivity. Time is the most valuable thing you have because it cannot be saved or regained, unlike money. All of those extra seconds that you save with an SSD add up, especially when dealing with a large amount of small files. That's where an HDD tends to stumble.

In the context of gaming, an SSD will have little impact. You may get quicker load times, but framerates won't be affected much.

Probably the first Spyro game on PS1. Back then, the atmosphere was so dreamy.

Recently, Bioshock Infinite has had the same effect. I love when a game can pull off that early-morning-that-looks-like-the-evening look.

A single-card solution is usually better in the long-run because it gaurantees a boost in performance. With Sli or Crossfire, games have varying degrees of optimization.

Good job. This should be stickied.

PC superior. The end. No matter how arrogant or whiney some PC gamers may be about it, that's just how it is. The guy in the video can hardly articulate his thoughts in a compelling way and at the end, anything he has to say feels irrelevant.

If a person with a tuned up Porche acts arrogantly towards a person with a stock Civic, it doesn't make the Civic any better, it just makes the Porche owner sound like an ass.

Slowly, there's fewer and fewer reasons that a PC would be at a disadvantage to a console.

Pricing: PC parts are getting exponentially cheaper, to the point that you can build a decent gaming rig of console-like performance for the cost of a launch-time console. The more you spend beyond that, the most superior your experience will be.

Controls: Got a problem with the keyboard and mouse? No problem just get a usb adapter for you favorite controller. Ported games are nearly garaunteed to work with the Xbox 360 controller on PC.

Visuals: Need I say anything in this department? You get true HD on a decent PC, not some 1024x600 sub-HD footage scaled up to 1080p. (Modern Warfare 2's native resolution on consoles)

Looking at the PC purely as a gaming platform, the only drawback is the exclusives... well it MIGHT be a drawback, depending on what games you enjoy. That's purely subjective and you get what comes with the territory. Most good AAA titles are multiplatform so PC gamers will have a chance at them anyway.

There's nothing wrong with a console. I liked my Xbox 360 while it lasted, but I sold it to upgrade my video card. My PC experience feels like the equivalent of playing an Xbox 720. Playing with the 360 controller further enhances that feeling. Don't think of a PC as a totally different platform, it's just a highly flexible console from a pure gaming perspective. The fact that you can do a million other things is a plus too..

Most likely iPlay.

You can replace all the face models with vagina-faces and make the game run 50x faster, replacing the original sound track with country music and throwing in a Barbie doll boss fight at the end.. and no one can do jack about it.

Modify the game however you want. Even hack the binary if you'd like. The only time someone will complain is if you're hacking in an online multiplayer game and unfairly ruining other player's gaming experience as a result. Last time, I checked FF7 wasn't an online MP game though. Do whatever you want.

Well i dont know about anyone else but i just use sleep mode lol

For some people, an SSD just "makes things snappier." To a developer of music, videos, websites, software, or any other form of digital production, it can make a world of difference.

I'm sure it's fine, the only thing I find a bit odd is that's 50hz in the specs, yet it's titled at 100hz. If it confidently specified 60hz, I'd snatch it myself soon.
