Hey guys. So a couple weeks ago I said I would be getting a SSD as a Black Friday gift, and I did. So, now my question is: can I get your guys' help to get my machine optimized? It is set up a little right now, but I want to review some things. My setup: XFX 680i SLI E6750(2.66 GHz) Currently OC'ed...
