So I was gonna do a build for my friend. HIs budget is $800. I created a system for him which is not too bad. Here are the specs
Intel core i5 4590
MSI B85m-G43
Corsair CX500
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB RAM (2x4GB)
WD 1TB Blue
Corsair Spec 03
Now originally i was gonna pop in a 250GB SSD by Crucial (BX100) and a GTX 960 by MSI and call it a day. But now i heard that the r9 280x is better than the 960 but a bit more expensive and draws more power. But then i realized i could drop the SSD and the 960 or 280x and instead get a GTX 970
Should i go with the 970 and no SSD? or should i get the 960 or 280x with an SSD? idk which option to get b/c i never had an SSD before so i can't say from experience how fast it is.
