I am planning on replacing one of the hard drives with a Solid State Drive in the future when I get some more $. The total cost is: $2240 minus some rebates you get for like 60$ Is this good for gaming and doing school work? Before you say build a desktop that is out of the question for several reasons. Thanks!
