Building a PC?

10kingsam · Jul 20, 2014

Hi,
I'm currently making a new PC build and I have a few questions, my build is:
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core
MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
BitFenix Merc Alpha (Black) ATX Mid Tower
Corsair 500W ATX12V
Basically I have some choices to make:
Do i get the:
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 60GB 2.5" SSD
The GTX 660 or the R9 270x (or the R9 280 if it stays on offer)

I need to choose between:

DEFO get an SSD system drive, this one single component will do more than any other to make your PC faster in day to day use. Get a larger one of u can, but 60GB will be enough, especially if u r using Win 8

That SSD is both not recommended and too small.

Ok well I can always get an SSD later, my main focus was the graphics card

I would change the power supply to an XFX or Seasonic power supply and I personally wouldn't get the SSD unless you only want to load your OS on it.
