If you are dead set on the 400R, you should drop the SSD. It will have no impact on your gaming performance. The money spent on an SSD is better spent on a GPU, a single 570 has problems "maxing" BF3. I was running a 570 -> 570 SLI before I got my 680. thumb.gif But there is no reason to grab a SSD, since it will have the smallest impact on a gaming rig. And this is coming from someone who has a 256GB SSD. tongue.gif


EDIT:
Oh and I almost forgot, that samsung ram is some of the best ram you can get right now. It is known to overclock to 2400MHz+

I'm sorta stuck with using Newegg only for now. But those are some nice builds. I wish newegg would get more 680 GTXs.

While an SSD doesn't directly affect what you're getting in frame rates it can affect over all game play. It would yield quicker load times and they're pretty useful for MMO's as when you do something new with other people there are going to be textures that will have to be read off the hard drive. Having them on an SSD would mean quicker loads. Not to mention like 5 second boot ups.
Budget rig.
