I have a build I'm looking at, that costs just under 800 dollars, I'm new to SSDs, is the one I picked bad? It seemed quite a bit cheaper than most of them.
If there is anything that needs expanding or replacing in your opinion, let me know!

Computer Usage Type :
Heavy Music Production (several kontakt instruments, vsti, on single DAW with audio mastering)
3D Modeling - Cinema 3D , After effects, (extreme detail)
Multitasking (multitab web(streaming music,3 social tabs, pdf, google searches,etc), office word, uploading images, downloading movies, playing MMOs)

Current laptop audio scratches, pops, and glitches, when a new page, or program is opening, is this a RAM, network, or audio card problem? Thanks.

For "3D Modeling - Cinema 3D , After effects, (extreme detail)"

You might want a video card. The GPU built into the CPU exists but it's not very... robust. Would work great for audio processing though!
