I just bought a VelociRaptor 2.5 for my new desktop build. not sure if I made a mistake. I read a lot about its performance and some pro's and cons about using a 2.5.
Current build:
Case: Aerocool Strike X-Air
Mobo: Asus Maximus VII Formula
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Processor - Quad Core #BX80646I74790K
Hard Drive: WD VelociRaptor 250 GB #WD2500BHTZ
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro Series #CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R
Graphics: TBD
PSU: TBD
I'm I hurting this build by not forking out the extra bucks for a 15,000 rpm or SS drive?
I mean I play rainbow six series, scare factor games, watch all tv shows from computer, radio from computer, idk should I just do it and post my thoughts????? I have no problem ripping it out and going there if I'm not satisfied. I'm re-newbed, I'm 43, been modding for 20yrs but my last build kept me going for quite some time and a little confused about the new (out of the loop)
