^^ I think you can go for it. Really worth the price imo. Though it can't match corsair's legendary warranty, 2 years is still good if not great.

The psu is so rocksolid that it can run for years without throwing issues. But that 2 years warranty can actually change a person's mindset. So its upto you buddy what to decide.

But imo, the 6k price tag for a psu such a GP 950AA is a steal. You don't get a modular psu with 76 amps of current in single 12v rail and that too with a silver rating at this price.

Hope u havent finalized finalized the config. OCZ Agility series SSDs have asynchronous NAND and is slightly obselete nw. I would recommend u go for the Intel SSD 510 or OCZ Vertex or Corsair Performance 3 series of SSDs. If you get the time, go through the entire series of benchmarks in this article. They cover the ranges and capacities you are interested in.

On the other hand, have you thought about using the Intel's smart response option?

OCZ Agility is Faster Than Intel SSD 510, OCZ Vertex 2, Corsair Performance Series 60 GB Drives. OCZ Vertex 3 60 GB & Corsair Force 3 60GB is not available in India. Agility 3 is the fastest 60 gb ssd in India.

I will use this ssd as boot drive & apps instead of for cache as It will take 20gb from my ssd.

If you use it for cache why would you buy 60GB, and why would you use it for cache if you is it as boot drive? Just use a it as normal boot drive, and do buy 80GB minimum, 60GB boot drive will run out of space faster than you can say "SSD."

60GB will dived into this:

Windows 7 Installation - 14GB
Updates & Security Patches - 3GB
Antivirus & All Apps - 13GB
Free Space For Good Performance - 15 GB

Still Have 15 GB To Spare. It is enough as my data & games will be stored in 1TB HDD.

60gb boot drive/primary partition is enough as far as Windows 7 is concerned. If you want to install your games in the SSD also, then 120gb is the way to go.

60GB HDD does not give 60GB usable space, 55GB will be usable(60*0.976*0.976*0.976), now from that a potion goes for spare space(for cell replacement), so I'd say you'll get 52-53GB max, so its not 60GB full. So better get 80GB, moreover apps like Adobe CS5 takes around 7GB+, a moderate oracle db may take 2GB+, so you have to install them elsewhere which will reduce performance, think about it.

Fallout savegame goes over 3GB for sure.

None of which I stated above is a game, savegames will be stored in C drive, there is no option, then adobe CS5 is a program that takes some time to load, using SSD will show benefit there, anyway its your choice after all.

But save game size differs game by game. So It will not be a big issue.
