I need some computer building geek help, please.

This box holds dual psu's. I don't think you guys caught that. I already have an Antec Neo that I can add to this new psu for a total of around 1500 watts.
I'm still not sold on SSD. I don't know how big they get, but I'm guessing "not nearly big enough to hold all my program files".
I'll take a look and see if the ssd's are doable, though.

Nor am I. Who cares if the OS boots a few seconds quicker? Desktop's are rarely shut off. I think there's other areas to spend money on instead.

Go for the round cables instead of ribbon cables inside. The cooling potential is better

I always use round cables, I thought they did away with ribbon cables.
That case I picked has absolutely badass cooling, I'm very happy with it.
My desktop is on 24/7/365 unless the power goes out. It'd reboot itself but I still have a snag in my boot.ini that thinks I still have windows 7 on a partition and it goes to it first and finds nothing, etc.
I've never taken time to take the hook out. That's how lazy I am.

I just checked and I have 33.5 gigs of program files. That's all cleaned up, and it's still 33.5 gb. I'm not gonna bottleneck my system or make my system a nuisance by being forced to put program files on another partition, etc. It makes no sense.
If I was just playing games all day, it might be worthwhile, but I never even owned any scsi stuff or raptor stuff because I have an extra second a day for things to load.
I did have a buddy that spent all the money for Matrox video cards and scsi, and watched his system performance. When it worked, which wasn't often, it really screamed. He could render video in half the time I could. I was okay with turning it on and going to bed, though. lol

SSD's don't just help with OS boot times. They also help with everything on the drives boot time. Programs like Windows Media Center with 4 TBs or so takes a long time to load up. With an SSD it takes about 5 seconds. Everything is significantly quicker, on that drive obviously which would be your program drive "windows drive".

If I had a nice video camera I would post up my Media Center PC with a SSD loading 200+ blurays in windows media center(covers, descriptions and all info) in about 6 seconds. Use to take nearly 30 seconds.

Not trying to pimp/sell SSDs just stating the facts. So if they sound like something you could use, get one. If not don't. SSD's are ideal for programs that use a lot of memory and have a lot of files. Slow loading programs, I only use windows media center as an example because mine has about 4 TBs to load with it.
