With my recent downgrade to a 290 from my 970, I have managed to save a bit of money off of my budget. 

 

Should I get an SSD for about $100 AUD? I will only be able to get 128GB because of money. 

 

OR

I could just wait until I get my system, then upgrade to a higher capacity SSD.

If you were trying to save money why are you looking to spend what you saved already on another computer component?  Do you need an SSD?  If not then use the saved money for what you were trying to save it for in the first place.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Get a smaller ssd for the OS now. Trust me, DO NOT buy an ssd later. Windows can install on the ssd and re write all of the dll file paths you had before, and you have to re install all of your programs. Buy a smaller ssd now, and maybe get a larger one later.
