Do you want fast boot times, short boot times? If so get an SSD, otherwise a normal hard drive will be fine.

I would buy the best with what you can afford if you can afford to get a slightly less powerful CPU but put more into a stronger GPU then it would be more worth it go with AMD perhaps if you can manage to do both go intel

Yeah if you can get a more powerful graphics card with an AMD processors, then thats good, but i wouldn't recommend going higher than a 7950/GTX760 with an FX6300 (or any AMD processor out there right now).
