An SSD is nice but it wont increase your FPS in games, you can always add it later. Here's a build in that price range.

Personally I would steer away from customizing solution these days and especially an AMD solution as compare to both Intel (iCore constanly beats them, especially i7) and NVidia (I had ATI and 120Hz is unsupported, though gives you an incredible detail level and better response timing).

I personally have taken a off the shelf Intel system (Walmart, BestBuy, etc.) that was a last on shelf/get rid of for new WindowsOS release, swapped out the Power and Video, and had a good enough system to perform well (if one's Internet was up to speed that is). I would suggest that solution to not only get more 'bang' for your buck, as buying 'parts' is much more expensive then buying a 'package build' you can just mod as necessary.

I would have to disagree. The build in my signature cost me $1000 ($1020 to be exact) picking up the parts as they go on sale. If you pickup the components as the deals become available you are still able to do better than any low quality pre-built machine you can pickup and reconfigure.
