SSD vs GPU

[Dave_81]

Currently, my planned build (nothing bought yet) is a gtx 950, pentium g4400, rosewill case with built in 400w psu, ga-h110m-a mb, and 8gb ballistix ram. The cost totals around $350 after tax (Which is my limit). As of now, I planned on just using some old HDDs I had for storage. But if I got a gpu for around $199 (750 ti, maybe RX 460 if launch isn't terrible) I could get a 120gb kingston uv400 ssd

For gaming get the best gfx card you can afford. Can always add an ssd later.
For general use, go the ssd for sure.

for $200 you can get RX480 4G .. dont go lower if you want to pay $200 .. assuming thats US$

I have a better idea , look in Ebay , you can find GTX 950 EASY for $100 .. all are selling their old cards to get RX480 now.. If you are lucky , you could even find a good deal on GTX 960..

fst search (dont miss it)

1. top priority should be your GPU for such a budget build.
2. SSDs are nice but not necessary specially when you want to save money. it helps with booting/loading times but doesn't really affect your gaming performance much.
3. like said above, I would recommend looking in the 2nd hand market first to see what deals you can find, either e-bay, craiglist or your local facebook selling groups.
