You need to be careful running unnamed PSUs, if you don't have a good one it could cause your entire build to blow. An SSD is not going to improve FPS, though it does help with startup times. The 2400 MHz RAM will be better, but only if you can get them for less than $70.

Im not sure of the brand, i know its 700w though. I also just remembered I have a 500gb western digital hdd and a cpu cooler. Would a SSD be useful for 60fps? would 2x4GB Vulcan 2400MHz CL10 be better than your suggested ram? A friend of mine has these and hes willing to part with them.
