    Thank you

    Looks like a great spec - not sure about the answers to your 2 questions - I am sure someone more knowledgable than me will answer you on here.

    However, I am interested in your SSD option - 120GB Corsair Force 3, Sandforce SSD.

    When I was reading up about SSDs, a lot of the forum reviews/advice/comments I have read recommend avoiding the Sandforce controller.
    Which is why I chose a Crucial M4 SSD with a Marvel controller when I specced my system.

    Regardless, looks like an awesome spec!

    Hi I can help answer question 1, if you are happy to open your old PC you can take it out and then add it to your new one as a 2nd hard drive,as long as you have a spare power and data cable, this should be fine even if windows is installed as your pc wont look at that as your boot drive, or 2nd if you get the corsair 650D case it has a built in hot swap caddy for both 2.5 and 3.5 drives so you can just push it in there to get your business books off it, But the case is alot more money at over £100
