using a liquid cooler needs more than just the cooler itself, and that gets expensive. Air cooling is way cheaper and would get you more leg room for other components

While not having an ssd allows you to play games I would say that playing games such as skyrim and witcher which have lots of loading screen having an ssd is almost a must. Only reason I have a 1tb ssd is because my current computer has a 250 ssd and a 1tb hdd but I regret the moment that I didn't spend extra to get a 1tb SSD.

yeah i know, but the other guy was saying you didn’t pick one out, even though its a gaming build.. which it is not required for gaming
