390 or SSD?

So I can take out my SSD out of my build to replace my 380 with a 390 or I could keep my SSD and just buy a 380. Which one should I pick? The SSD is a PNY CS1211 240GB.

390 - don't waste 30 fps more for something that can be added later.

SSD.

R9 380 probably suffices for you.

Both have their bonus's but i would say 390 now, ssd later.  The 390 might not get you a huge fps difference, but if youre even thinking about it, just go with the gpu.  You can always switch the OS to ssd from the hard drive.  (i think.  But if you want to know, just ask).

If the main thing you do on your computer is play graphically intensive games, get the 390. If you play some games or games that aren't super demanding, get the 380 and SSD. This is assuming you don't have a steady flow of disposable income, if that's the case, definitely get the 390 now and SSD later.

There's really no cut and dry answer here, it depends on what you value more. If you want more FPS, go with the 390. If you want faster load times and snappier general operation, go with the SSD. Personally I'd say get the SSD, it just saves so much time over a normal HDD. That being said, I have the patience level of an army drill sergeant so it's more valuable to me.
