Looking for a computer that will consistantly run csgo over 120fps on low settings, without overclocking. My budget is about 640-680$ CAN

I love my SSD but 120GB isn't going to leave much storage space after installing Windows. If all the OP wants to do with this PC is play CS:GO that will be enough and they will get all the benefits that come with an SSD.

If the OP also wants to play other games and store media on the PC I would think about switching to a 1TB HDD. It won't save enough money to upgrade to an i3 and the PC will boot and load programs much slower but the framerate it gets in CS:GO will be just as good.

Edit: It looks like if he switched to a HDD and a 750 Ti it would save enough money to get an i3. I'm not sure whether a Pentium and a 950 or a i3 and a 750 Ti is the better combo for CS:GO but it's another option to consider.
 
All good options king3pj. I could see going with a 750 ti and a core i3 if he's doing more intensive games, but if he's just doing CSGO, then the Pentium will easily suffice until he can upgrade to a core i5.

HDD is also good, that's totally up to the OP.
