Word thanks everyone, that's what I was thinking.

Would it be worth it to grab a SSD or just stick with 1 HDD?

And opinions on GTX 960 vs 970?

ssd will just make load times faster, and you can restart your OS in 20s or less. it doesnt increase FPS or anything, or prevent you from playing any games from not having one. up to you if its worth it. its also a pain in the ass to reinstall your OS

Pretty much best bang for the buck, maybe around 300ish

if you do every day stuff, then get the ssd for sure. if you just game, dont bother.

970, you'll feel a lot better about your decision when you can play new games at splendid graphical settings.

As carte said, get the SSD if you do regular stuff on your comp instead of just gaming.

Don't let anyone convince you need to upgrade your CPU just yet, it's not even close to a major bottleneck if you OC it.
