Any suggestions/substitutions/deductions/additions, please help me out.
If anything is not worth the cost, or if something better (and cheaper) is replaceable, please let me know.
I was told that programs and games on a SSD drive would run much faster (and more smoothly, I suppose), so a friend of mine suggested a 60GB SSD and a SATA HD on the side.
As for the power supply, i was told that modular would be better for an antec case, as the cases are normally huge and require longer wires. I do not know the recommended wattage for this build.
As for video card, if I can cut back on enough things, I may be able to upgrade to a 560 instead of a 550, if it's worth it.
I was told that the case has 4 fans already and I would not need to buy any extra fans for the components.
As you can tell, I'm a bit overwhelmed and I'm not too experienced. Thanks in advance for the help.
