I have about $400 I'm willing to put towards my computer. I have a r9 390, a 1tb hard drive, and an old TV (60hz) as a monitor. Should I get a new monitor (the LG 144hz 1ms monitor looks nice), a second GPU for crossfire (I currently get only 30-50fps on med/low settings for most modern games), or a 1tb SSD? The SSD isn't TOO important, as I don't really care all too much about loading times and file transfer times, but I still wanted to include it. Thanks

Its hard for me to even use a persons Pc anymore without a SSD yes it seems it greatly affects the overall experience meaning its so much faster for about 2 years now all of my systems have one and I like them like said above the money spent on a good monitor and SSD will improve your system overall. And running crossfire isn't always the way to go I ran 2 R 290 and in some games I saw fps increase but in some I saw a decrease its hard to belive the R 390 you have isn't performing as you expected. Have you updated drivers and such?

Its easy to say you don't care about the SSD until you have one! Strange you get low FPS with such a powerful GPU. What CPU do you have?

Why not get the monitor and a 256GB SSD. You can put a fair number of games on it and use your current HDD as backup.
