    Did someone really have to tell you that?

    Sounds neat! I'd use them.

    Formatting a 380GB HDD takes a while. And cloning another one. and restoring it. and installing windows.
    Luckily after this one time it should be a lot faster.
    I also never realized how small SSDs are.

    Just took a GTB Legacy for a spin.. Damn it was fun.

    Also just took a Honda CVT(continuously-variable-transmission) electric hybrid thing for a spin, biggest WTF moment when you stop and think you stalled it.

    Also, look at the damn cluster.

    Word of advise, don't accept advise from koenigsegg. You'll ntice all his advice so far is parroting what others said except the one I've just quoted. I picked this one as it's untrue.

    i3 CPUs. Dual core, used to be the odd quad available. No turbo. No hyperthreading.
    i5. Quad core. With turbo. No hyperthreading.
    i7. Quad or higher. Turbo. Hyperthreading.

    Otherwise an i7 isn't automatically good per se. It is crap justification to say I have an i3 and its therefore crap. There are i7s with a low clock speed which frankly suck for gaming, hyperthreading doesn't help games either.

    While your CPU is good. Don't accept advice from the guy that can do nothing but spam posts asking for help with something google can easily answer.

    Never done that for me before.

    i3's have hyperthreading from what I know.

    Also to the guy with the GT430 expect like 30fps on mid. I get around 60 FPS on crouded servers on high.

    Seems they do indeed.

    Also seems there is no quad core haswell i3, there have been quad core i3s in previous generations.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure i3s have never been quads. i3s are 2/4 without turbo, i5s used to be either 2/4 or 4/4 I think, are now just 4/4 with turbo, i7 is 4/8 with turbo. (Except extreme of course.)

    Yes it can. Look at a game's minimum requirements on Steam, compare with your specs, done.

    I don't understand how I get failed to create resource on EVERY CAR. Is there a way to fix this?

    EDIT: I should probably say that NONE of the cars work, and I can't even get in the game because of this issue.
