Any game will work with SSD, game levels will load faster on SSD (2~3times faster).
SSD won't increase FPS in games but it will decrease lvl load times. If you think you don't need SSD it's up to you, I also don't use SSD because I can't spend 100+$ for just fast boot and lvls load times :)

Edit: MSI's 780 is a good choice :)

Right now, i don't feel like an SSD is necessary. I'd rather spent those bucks on a CPU or a GPU.

That's would better build (IMO)
6GB is pointless for 1080p and SSD would boot your OS and game level significantly faster :)

Okay, but basically an SSD is just a drive which you can store your games and boot drive on? Do my games run faster or what's the deal? And does it work with Steam?
I agree that 6GB is a lot. I think I'll take the MSI GeForce 780 Gaming.

Thanks
