I do mainly gaming.........not extreme gaming but at 1080p and between medium to high.....i have a ati radeon HD 7870

I am confused to chose one of these bundles ....because i dont have a CPU and a HDD

Intel Core i5 3550 and a Corsair Force GT 120 GB

or

Intel Core i7 3770 and a Normal HDD

I have never used a SSD before ....it was my dream.....Plz tel me whether the Intel Core i5 3550 has enough CPU power to play games like GTA 4 ( Will be playing GTA 5 also ) , Skyrim , BF3 and so on............................................ ( cant afford anything more than this )

Any opinions will be appreciated

Yes, i5 3550 is enough for high end gaming. Get it with ssd. Game loading performance is better than hdd with ssd. There is no need to get i7 3770.

Go for the i5 and the SSD. The i7 shows it worth in Video Editing but the i5 is a very capable gaming CPU and the SSD will more than make up for the lack of hyper-threading you would get with the i7.
