That makes sense... I would love an SSD but let's see if i can buy what I need first then worry about the SSD.

Here is what I have in mind.

GPU: XFX Double D Black Edition FX-777A-ZDB4 Radeon HD 7770 GHz 1GB
MB: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155
MEM: Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1333
PSU: Not sure yet.

Comments suggestions welcome :D
 
Again the HD 7770 is just the same as the GTX 550ti, are you able to go to a GTX 560 or a Radeon HD 6870?

Also make sure you tell us what PSU you go for, you need to be careful with those as some of them are not worth the tin there made from. :)

Edit,- this is $30 more than the GTX 550ti and much better http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948

This is what i'm talking about.. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/540?vs=541

Sounds good to me.
Just need to figure out a PSU now.

Also, if i find a less expensive board with the same socket and 4 RAM slots i will be happy. i don't need SLI or cross fire. just 1 video card is enough.
