The primary use will be streaming 1080P movies, music, and some light web browsing when I'm too lazy to grab my laptop.
Currently I'm looking at these parts (prices from Amazon):
ASRock MB-A75M ($75)
AMD A8-3850 APU ($125)
SilverStone ML03B ($65)
Patriot Memory Torqx 2 Series 64 GB SSD ($65 after MIR)
Kingston Technology HyperX Blu 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL9 ($41)
So my order from Amazon hasn't shipped yet and I'm thinking of canceling the Torqx sata ii drive in lieu of a sata iii ssd. Given the added cost do you feel the sata iii drive is worth it for the added performance? If so any recommendations on ssd's would be much appreciated.
