What's this?

What SSD did you buy, and where did you buy it?

Will probably do my next PC build next year, and I'm definitely going with an SSD.

Probably another ASUS MOBO (I've been happy with the last two ASUS MOBOs.) Along with that, will probably go with 16 GB of RAM. I have 8 in my current build, but will double it in the next one.

Will probably stick with an Intel CPU, since I've only used those. (How are AMD chips these days?)

Will look for reviews of Video cards. Don't need the best, but it will need to be sufficient for my needs over the next 6-8 years. It will require two DVI-D ports.

Case, power supply & monitors will make it into the next build.
