Most reliable SSD released in the last 5 years?

My 256GB Samsung 830 has been working great for a few years now (showing 100% health still, 11TB of writes). Also have an older Intel X25-M G2 80GB drive that is still working great, I'd still be using it if it's capacity was larger.

HDD x Hybrid x SSD

I would strongly recommend getting an SSD, at least for your boot drive. The 120GB that you listed would do fine for Windows and a few games/programs, but it may become a little cramped. I would still go for option 1 if I had to pick between the ones you listed. If you can squeeze it in somehow...

What do you dislike about your car?

-Should get better mileage for a 2.3L hatchback, or could have more power for the same mileage. -No sixth gear. (Might help with mileage to not cruise at 3250 rpm+) -Mediocre sound insulation. -It's black inside and out (Too hot in the summer). Otherwise, it's been a good car, and...

Which is better? Intel hd4000 vs GT640m

If you plan to use the computer to game with (or use strongly GPU accelerated programs), the $150 is probably worth it. If you plan to office/Internet/watch movies, without gaming, might be worth saving the $150. You did mention the cheaper laptop comes with an i3 whereas the more expensive one...

Anyone here own a das keyboard?

A late opinion, but I have a WASD keyboard and I'm really happy with it. Mine uses browns, but they sell the keyboards in blue/brown/black/red. You can choose if the keys are engraved/blank. They start at $120 USD. I'm not 100% sure about shipping to Canada though. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/...

LG 27" monitor for $219 ???!!!

Don't have experience with it/can't find decent review, so a bit hard to say. It is a TN panel, so it *likely* will have low input lag/response time. Since it's a TN panel, the viewing angles won't be amazing and the colors may not be perfect. The newegg/amazon review seem overall positive...

custom resolution ??? is that good idea ?

Your TV is just going to scale it back to the native resolution of the panel (Likely 1080p), no way around that.

Watercooling - Would someone mind creating me a list of what to get?

If you are willing to pay for it, the xspc raystorm kits have a better pump/block/rad, and seem to be pretty okay deals. The RX kits being better than the EX in general, unless you like fast fans.

Summer months = lower OC?

Kind of a stupid question, but is your heatsink filled with dust? I don't have a huge overclock, 2600K @4.4/1.25V on an old Thermalright Ultra-120 with a low speed fan, and my temps definitely increase in the summer, but not much more than what my ambient room temp changes, which is around 6C.

Dynatron T459 Intel LGA-1155 Lower-Profile

Shows a max TDP of 73 watts on the tech spec sheet, so it will probably work just fine, but I'm guessing it may be a little loud based on how low profile it is.

Looking for some quiet, cheap, high airflow 120mm fans

Yate Loon fans are frequently a favorite when looking for cheap fans. I've used three of the low speed ones in my case for the past few years and they haven't gave me any issues. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=36_49_1051

OC with two different brands of Memory

If you set the speed to be the speed of the slowest sticks, or auto, it should work, but not absolutely guaranteed.

Ram Issues

Yeah, no overclock, stock timings/speed/voltage on my entire system right now. I tried to up the NB voltage a notch, didn't seem to have an effect on memtest. (Memtest still crashes/reboots the computer whenever 4 sticks are in, however windows/applications seem to be running without any major...

Ram Issues

Yeah, they are the Ballistix modules. I'll try coming up with some other ram and hopefully figuring out if it is the ram again, or if it is the motherboard.
