New gaming rig

Modest, as far as such things go, but here it is:
Core i5 4440 3.1 GHz
ASRock H87M MB
2x Adata 4GB Premier Pro DDR3
Gigabyte GV-N650OC-2GI GTX 650 2GB
Adata Premier Pro SP900 128GB SATA3 SSD
Seagate 500GB Barracuda SATA3 HDD
LG 20EN33TS-B 20" LED Monitor
Aywun 550W MEGA POWER Elite Series Power Supply
SilverStone RL01B ATX Mid Tower Case

I bought the 128GB SSD with a view to dual booting, but so far it's just Linux (Ubuntu 13.10).  Stream games are working well (Crusader Kings II, Kerbal Space Program and Half-Life).  I will see how much I can get to work under PlayOnLinux.  With a bit of luck, this box might stay Windows free.
