im not a sample hog (I don't have gis and gigs / TB and TB of samples.
I probably have 50GB in (non cakewalk) samples.
I keep these on my C drive with my OS, which is a 220GB SSD Drive)
its as fast as lightning.
im in the process of a new build myself.
an I7 4790K with 16Gb of ram.
I was very close to purchasing the new AMD 8 core 8750. but decided to go intel this time.
ive been using AMD for almost 7 years now exclusively and have been very happy.
but im not in to gamming or in to over clocking.
im just excited to see what everyone else is bragging about with newer intel processors.
been a while since I went with a new one. (even the 4th / 6th gen's.)
