i've just got a couple of questions:

-About SSD : how to keep its performance , is it true i don't need to defrag it?

Ivy bridge cpu's  got an integrated video card , is there a way to switch from radeon to intel hd 4000 when i don't need gaming performance?

I got that SSD too and my pc boots up in around 30 secs

And why would you switch to Hd 4000?

To spare energy  :L

my bad , hd 4000 are only present in i7 cpu's , mine is hd 2500

But i think 'll probabily  disable it and use radeon instead.

One last question : installing windows 7 on SSD is  the same as installing it on a normal hd ?

Yeah but there are a few changes you have to make: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds Just follow this, its a really good guide. The only diffrence in installing is that it is ALOT faster :D

lol was gonna put that link, but ninja'd :P
just follow the guide as you install, as there's few things you should do to optimize the ssd
and yeah, don't defrag, the benefit is marginal to none, but ssd can wear out faster with that.(still it'd take years though)
its recommended to disable anything disableable that is write intensive/space consuming on ssds, like hibernate etc, but thats in the guide too.

to use integrated gpu you would need to switch the video outputs, as motherboard outputs igpu, but gpu outputs itself.
