That is not really a bad idea. Current box has 380W PS. 

I could just use SSD as root and then put my 1T in there and work off it. 

I have it up and running. CPU fan needs replacing. It is hobbling along. I'm not sure about the video. I left for lunch, came back and it was locked. 

After working to get it up, video was screwy and I see this nasty message 'GPU fallen off bus'. I've poked the fan to get it going and reved up. It is stable now. 

My NVIDIA issues started when I moved from 12.10 to 15.04. I do not do upgrades. I did a fresh install.
