Thinking about replacing old desktop stuff

Yeah, Steam is real good about that, I've done it a dozen times now.

It doesn't even have to go into the same location it used to be in. Put the whole Steam folder anywhere, install (or re-install) Steam and specify the new folder location as the install directory, and all your games are already installed with all your settings and all your added content (downloaded maps, etc).

I use Allway Sync to backup my entire Steam folder to an external hard drive just in case.

I Have been using allways sync to keep my USB stick in order. This way if I loose one its no big deal to replace it.

OK, thanks for the advice guys. Being that the SSD listed above went up to $129 (no rebates anymore) and for a few bucks more $198, I got one for more than twice the size (256BG):

Reviews are good too so seemed like a plan.

Nice drive and nice price. That's less than $1 per Gb.

IT'S ALIVE!!!

Wow, easiest PC build I've ever done. Not one problem. Super fast and quiet too I might add. Have yet to try a modern game at high res but looking forward to it.

Thanks again to everyone here who helped out.
