Looking for a good upgrade!

[maxence822]

Hello everyone!
So a few weeks ago I was trying to buy cheap parts to make a really cheap PC and well, that did not turn out so well to say the least... Luckily I was able to RMA all the parts and get my money back, so now I would like to know if I can get a good upgrade for my current build.
I've looked at a gamepad, a new monitor, and some other stuff but did not seem to be able to find anything really worth getting.
My budget is 180-200 US dollars, that's after tax and shipping and all that.
Here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7yLrhM
Thanks for the help!

I'd get an SSD with that money or save for a better video card.

Thanks! Is the SSD really truly worth it? If so then which one should I get?
If I choose to go with the video card, which one of those should I get?

Yes everything boots and loads way faster. You'll have to put your OS and most frequently used programs on it to get the most out of it though. I would look for one that's at least 240 Gb like the Samsung 850 Evo.

As for video cards $200 won't get you anything a lot better than what you already have, and I'd only upgrade that when you need your games to run smoother.

Well my loading times don't really bother me. For whatever reason (maybe because I have only the OS and a few programs on one drive), my computer seems to boot in about 30-40 seconds.
Well maybe I'll get an SSD and return it if I don't see a significant improvement or something. Thanks!
