i3 4170 + GTX 960 WITH SSD or i3 + R9 380 WITHOUT SSD

[Decimated]

Soo i think the title says it all. There is an offer in my country , if i buy the GTX 960 and the i3 4170 i receive a free SSD , but if i choose to buy the r9 380 i won't receive the SSD.. And i was asking is the performance of r9 380 worth the SSD ? The PSU i'm going to get is a FSP 400W HEXA+ ( http://www.fsplifestyle.com/product.php?LID=1&PSN=1001 ) Thanks !

> FSP 400W HEXA+

FSP makes Tier 3, 4, and 5 PSUs. I'd probably put in a better PSU and then re-evaluate my budget.

Hmm ok , let's say i put a little more and get a Sirtec High Power Element BRONZE 500W.. Now which rig should i get ? I3 + GTX 960 + SSD or i3 + R9 380 WITHOUT SSD ? And is a Seasonic Eco Series 430 W 80+ BRONZE enough ? or i should stick with the Sirtec mentioned above ? HELPPP

R9-380 wants 550w; it is not an option with the 400w psu.

'I have used FSP before and found them ok.

I would go with the SSD because it will make your computer run SO MUCH faster. Literally my PCs boot up time went from 60 seconds to 10 seconds. Plus the only game that really favors AMD over Nvidia is Far Cry 4, but other than that, games nowadays are optimized for both Nvidia and AMD GPUs.

However I would only use the SSD for the OS, because unless it is 250+ GBs, it will fill up quickly with games. Spend another $45 bucks and get an 1TB HDD for your mass storage.

I'll buy a HDD too.. the SSD is free because there is an offer if i buy the i3 + GTX 960 i get a free SSD

Yeah, get the SSD.
The gtx 960 is slightly slower (3-5) fps, and that depends on how the game was made and so on. In other words, they are almost the same, so get whichever is cheaper, and with a free SSD, I see no downsides.
P.S. what country is this?

Romania
