Thanks in advance

Note: build will be purchased today or tomorrow

Would I be better off going with an i5 4570/4440 and getting an SSD or going to an FX 8350 and the AMD varient of the motherboard( plus SSD)?
 


I was planning on overclocking however, which would aid performance more, an ssd, a better GPU, or an overclocked CPU?
 


A better gpu, the gpu always comes before the cpu unless the cpu is causing a bottleneck. Currently, any i5 would do, but maybe later on when its start to age, you might want to squeeze some extra life out of it by overclocking. But that would be in a couple years from now

The gtx 760 is a good card and would probably get high/ultra settings in most games at 1080p. It all really depends how much performance you really need and whats best for your money

An ssd would only really improve your game loading times (such as maps, but not fps), boot times and allow your OS to be more snappy. It might benefit more on open world games because the game constantly loads maps from the hdd and may prevent the occasional stuttering that you might get from a standard hdd

If you are overclocking, make sure to add in a cooler

I also see you missed out the power supply
 


I am probably going to get the Corsair 600w Modular PSU, I may also add in an SSD when I have more money
