SSD CACHE DRIVE
20GB INTEL® SSD 311 SERIES - CACHE DRIVE FOR SYSTEM / 1st HDD
is the only one in the drop down

Doesn't matter I'll get from elsewhere

Expensive isn't a problem unless you mean over £400 expensive Link me to some?

That's a cache drive, not an storage SSD. In Memory 1 or Memory 2, the SSD's are in there

By the way, if you want the OS to be on the SSD, make sure it's on Memory 1, because they install the OS on the first HDD

Sorry for double post, just in-case he'd already seen my previous post, I needed to
I highly recommend upgrading the warranty to the silver warranty. Only £5, and it gives you 11 more months collect and return policy

Okay for some reason the order verification screen crashed so it HASN'T ordered my pc yet... So I will do just that and 'upgrade' to silver (since it's actually cheaper... makes sense!) Also thanks for that SSD thing will do now as well

Woo! I can guarantee you'll be happy with their service. I definitely was/am and that's practically the same as my PC, except the case and monitors

Bought and ordered from PCS but it comes in pieces and I'm not paying for them to build it. My step brothers doing that and the setup for me

Unless they actually build it for free (I thought the whole £79 setup thing included building)
