4 or 6 cores?

I'm using a cheapo SSD and it works wonderfully. I bought it about a year ago, and even then it was only like $75 I think. Many will point you to the nicest Intel SSDs on the market, but for me the cheap RiData MLC version hasn't let me down and I see no lag (only during the very end of some WG fights, but somehow I doubt that's lag on my system)

You could always go for the i7 980x extreme with 6 cores.

I have shifted back my rebuild schedule as I want the prices on the components to drop a bit more before I start buying them.
