good info raborn i'll keep that in mind.
Atm im just wondering if i should even order yet, buddy mine that works at fry's just showed me a new mobo with a new chipset that goes with intel's next proccessor, the 3950 or w/e, mobo same price as my current but the proccessor is a few hundred more. Looks rly nice, has PCI 3.0 as well, even tho current cards state PCI 2.0
that im afraid ill try over-clock and burn my tower down since im not getting liquid cooling..dunno sh** about it

i would wait before dropping that cash for the next gen intel, but that's just me. its going to have ivy bridge as well (an [huge] upgrade on sandy bridge). i think it comes out in feb/march of 2012.

yeah thats around tax time for me, another 5g's or so to spend on parts. I figure f it go with this, get a dual card for taxes, then the following year just get the ivy bridge, new mobo w/e. Was just pondering the soon to be released stuff
i didnt wanna start a new topic, has anyone seen this flippin case -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129091&cm_sp=Cat_Computer_Cases-_-YTVideo-_-YT11-129-091
things awesome looking! Reason i even saw it is im not sure if i want the white corsair 600T..its ugly..but i want something as nice as the 600T..and sadly only thing i see that looks nice and seems decent is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119239 but it has no fan controller built in :(. anyone got an opinion?

Not a bad lookin case, I'll put that 1 in my running. There was a few Cooler Master cases i was looking at but never saw that 1. Another case i was lookin at was the Thermaltake 10 GT
yea i like master cooler, i got the HAF 922, swapped the top 200mm fan out to a red led one and added a side red led 200mm fan as well to match the front mount 200mm red led look

yeh i was lookin at that 1, but i think their was a dif 1 i was lookin at i rly liked but no fan controller and a rly small cpu cut out ; ;

Edit: I just read up and noticed you thought it was ugly ._.;
this is what i have...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129088&Tpk=Antec%20DF-35
its a really nice case. the front fan bays open up, and have screens in them that come out really easily, makes cleaning them a snap, and hardly any dust gets inside. also has a 2.5" bay ontop for hot swapping drives. also the 2 front fan speeds can be controlled as well.

Lol yeh, I like the black 1 but doesnt have the extra see through panel..so i decided to look around. I'm either gonna end up with the 600T or 1 of the cooler master ones and just grab a fan controller if i can figuire out how that even works.
Edit: BTW kraz, I <3 your avatar..he's hilarious and firefly owned 8D
yea i just use MSI Afterburner to custom set the fan lvs

controllers r so convenient but hell that works, now i can just find a case to fit my mobo and make lots pretty lights and air flow 8D
while im at it, does anyone know if FFXI, FFXIV and Windows 7 will fit on a 256 GB SSD comfortably? wanna put my most used things on it and not kill space, but not sure what each game takes in the end
cant tell you, i got a 40SSD for just my OS (w7) and 2 separate 1TB drives

well if a 40GB fits windows 7, then 250 GB shud be overkill for what i wanna do... my buddy trying to talk me into doing a RAID 10 on 4 seagate momentus XT 750 GB SSHD's to..lol
ffxi 7 and xiv should fit on 60gb, 160 would be enough for standard use, but tbh neither of these games requires the hdd access speed of a ssd. (especially not xi, xiv maybe you could justify it...)
I mean you can probably fir xi and 7 on a 20gb drive (barely) xiv I wouldn't imagine is more than 20gb (tops) plus buffering, documents music video, maybe 120 would work better.

Hmm maybe i can save a lil money downgrading to a smaller size then, been trying to cut a few dollars off the build here and there, its up to 3800$ >.>. and only reason I might throw FFXI on the SSD, is just because it's the main thing on my PC, may as well
what's your current build up to where you're going to spend that much? and from where?
I could understand if you're buying some monitors too but just for the tower I wouldn't throw more than 2.2k in it, and that itself would be an amazing build.
I threw together a build for under 1600 using the fastest i7 I could find a few weeks back (didn't buy it though) and I could have upgraded a few parts to overkill status easily for 600.
3800 is way too much, especially if you're only talking about running 1 game at a time.
hell the real high end gpu's aren't even really necessary for lower size monitors, not to mention xi has a fps cap anyway (assuming xiv does too)
if you aren't planning to do a lot more with it you're going overboard with a 2k pc, much less over 3k (almost 4).

Honestly this built is just a complete waste of money if all you care for is FFXI and XIV. Is it nice to have a bad *** comp like that? Sure but whats the point when 80% of its potential will never be used and obsolete in a year. You are better off just building a $2000 comp and putting the rest away.
Did I read FFXI and XIV on a SSD...
wat...
Complete waste of money.
Both games load at limited speeds due to server side lag.
Only thing I run my SSD for is my OS.
And Jet you're quite wrong. The fastest i7 would cost 1k alone.
Yeah you can get the 2700k and make a decent rig for 1600-2k which clearly is what the OP needs to do rather than building the biggest nicest PC just to run two games only one of which will remotely test the system.

I said the fastest I could find, aka the the fastest on newegg (I may have put a price limiter, I don't remember) so no in context I am not wrong.
(on second thought, may have been the highest quad core, idr)

You had to have a limiter which wasn't stated.
Shouldn't leave out important details.

I can post some screenshots of 14 from when i was playing it on max settings. I don't have any videos of it anymore.
Probably a little late, but a GTX 590 is basically 2 watered down GTX 580 GPU'S smashed together into 1 card... Don't get it. SLI 570's will beat it hands down, and used to be way cheaper vs 590 (haven't check prices lately).

The only reason I got the 590 was because how close the PCI x16's were on my board.
If you want more power 2x GTX 570 would be the better option.
To answer the original question...
Yes, FFXI, FFXIV and Win7 will all fit comfortably on a 256GB SSD.
So go for it!

figured it was implied well enough, oh well.
yeah I don't look at above quad core currently.
