Thank you very much for the reply, Yes the intel ssd is a next generation (G2) model:) No Rob high overclocking is not my priority, 3.0 - 3.2GHZ is more then enough. Good point about the mATX and the case i want didnt tought about that pointer, so micro is canceled out, thanks for the...

Thanks again for the reply Kougar, I now have a better understanding about the difference between the 920 and 940. Yes maybe its better to wait when indepth reviews emerge for the GTX 260 55nm regarding power consumption. Hope its going to be a lower tdp. I do know high performance means...
