I was wondering if it is worth spending the extra money for a ssd or just buy a hard drive and save some money and invest it in something else
(if it matter this is the build http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Q6YzRB)

If you're a gamer, I think the money would be better spent on a good mouse, keyboard, and monitor (multiple monitors), and/or games. Also possibly a large computer table. If you already have those things and want the luxury of faster loading times, then sure an ssd is nice to have, but its certainly not necessary.

what will you be using the computer for? names of games and software would help. we need some contexts.



stop

april fools
jaja

I already have a good monitor, keyboard and mouse and the games I will mainly be playing are Bf4, Sc2, Lol, Wow, Cs Go and H1Z1

SSD's are a waste of money unless you are impatient. They only increase loading times and do not effect FPS or any other aspect of games.

I'd just buy a 500gb HDD (since I doubt you're buying a 1tb SSD), for like 50$ and spend the other 200$ you're saving on a GPU or other upgrades.

It's nice for the windows load times & general responsiveness of programs.

Tbh you really only need a big enough ssd to hold windows & a few programs.

Think i've only used like 1/2 of my 120gb ssd

As I said if you can't wait the 40 seconds for windows to boot or 0-5 seconds for a program to start then go waste your money lol.
