Best 1000 dollars custom gaming build - need suggestions
Hello everyone,
First of all i apologize if i write any stupid non sense thing since im not really into computer hardware, secondly thanks for vieweing this topic.
Im really in need of some help regarding this build and the following questions:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rcm7sY

What do u think of this build?

Should i change the graphic cards or would i be able to improve the graphics card ( dont mind paying some more for a better performance graphics card) without "overcharging" the pc capabilities?

Is it worth trading the 1tb hard disk for a SSD one? would it be much bigger difference in terms of gaming performance? worth the money?

Thank you so much for the help!

Sorry man but you woun't be able to ship them to Portugal without extremely high shipping costs. You're better off buying here like I did. Se vives no Norte vai a Alientech no Porto, comprei tudo la, os precos sao bons e se quiseres montam-te o pc.
