The solid state drive is crazy worth it. It improves ALL performance a lot (Sometimes exponentially). If you need more space, you can add one later. Also the #1 rule to building a PC is "Buy all parts at once." Otherwise if you wait a month or two for the last parts, all your stocked up parts will be cheaper then what you bought them for. Also consider the 7870 LE. It is essentially a 7950 with 1GB less ram for $240. |
He's not necessarily looking to get the cheapest build. That motherboard lacks SATA 3, RAM capacity and OC options compared to what he has picked out. Cases can be important, too: I tried to cram my parts into a micro case and ended up having zero air flow for my video card (7770), and I had to keep an eye on it and not push it, at all. I got a bigger case with good flow and fans and it doesn't break a sweat anymore. (note: i had to push it up against my sound card, that was the problem, the case didn't allow for better spacing)

That's my case, I really like it. It's very flexible, functional, and looks nice too.
