An SSD does not improve gaming quality, even though it raises the overall speed of your system. This article may come in handy to you: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/12/10/hdd_vs_ssd_real_world_gaming_performance/1#.U4UCNvm-2Fw

I would assume it would work for that, however, I made this purchase to replace my older hard drive. It has done that with no problems and without using much space at all.

I would select the one at the lower price , be it the Crucial or Samsung. Both are good drives and I'll bet you couldn't tell the difference between the two unless you ran benchmark software that told you one was faster. I have several different brand/size/speed drives and on a day-to-day basis there is no observable change in performance. Once you get a SSD you will be happy.

Could be, I'm happy with speed, however install SSD for the operating system which makes it very fast!

Yes you can. But spend the extra and get SSD drive. It is soooo much faster and does not have a problem with being bounced around.

I installed a Samsung 840 products ssd and it works great. Also, the included ram is inaccessible, however there are 2 empty slots easily accessible to add up to 8 more gb.

This one will pretty much play any game out there on the highest settings as long as you have a modern processor and probably 8gb memory. In my opinion, if you're on a budget to where ~$100 matters, yes, this would be a better buy for now.

You can swap it out for a SSD, but just make sure you have a copy of all the drivers and some back-up discs of the OS.

depends on what features you are looking for , but generally speaking i am biased to asus product (i recommend them). i bought this specifically because it has the new m.2 ssd slot (plugs directly into the bottom of the MOBO...very cool and fast with no extra cables)

This one is a good option. I play games such a as call of duty that are very heavy ( 4 cd's). You won't regreat it.

I bought this item recently, but I learned that this item was not far better than Samsung 840 Evo. I like Samsung 840 Evo better because it gives me the same performance but it is a lot cheaper than Intel 730 Series. In my opinion, I think Samsung Evo SSD is far better than Intel 730 Series.

Absolutely, give it few GB of ram and a proper mSata SSD, you're good to go.

Just about any computer that has enough memory will work. I recently upgraded to a Dell 660 Inspiron with 6 GB and love it. I play games on Facebook and Microsoft and it is a world of difference. Plus I can play music that I love on the background which adds to the experience.

Yes. But the capacity will be a little smaller and SSD drives a alot more expensive than disk drives. So you can upgrade it if you wanted to.

It all depends on what video card you have now, if any, and the motherboard you are running. also what are you trying to accomplish this is a professional video card not a gamer type card? If you want my honest opinion if you want something to speed your PC up i'd suggest an SSD over any other hardware upgrade. Coupled to a 6gb sata slot it will drastically speed any pc up over a spinning disk HD. Just my 2 cents here though.

The only issue you will encounter is if you want to use both the 750gb and the ssd, you will have to find a bracket/caddy for it, and not in stock atm, not that expensive though like $20, but hard to get them in stock.

No one needs an SSD yet. It's mostly just a boot partition. Even PlanetSide 2 at max settings 1080p, max draw distance, in the largest battles, has zero pop-in issues.It's not like you are running other intensive software WHILE playing a game at the same time. And SSD are incredibly expensive, with very little space for data. So yes - this is all a gamer needs, at the moment.

I think that it is optimal to buy this computer and a separate SSD 128GB, and replace the original 500GB, with that and a memory of 8GB DDR3 would be a bullet. best regards (sorry my bad english)
