No SSD?

An SSD is in no way shape or form useless or overpriced.

You can pick up a 240GB one for under $40

Not sure where you're looking but that's so far from right it's not even funny.

First off, Samsung doesn't represent the SSD market.

Second off, where tf are you getting the prices? This SSD is 512GB and costs around $150..

 

You seem to be painfully misinformed my dude..

Here's a 1TB SSD for under $100, not going to comment on if it's the best on the market but still

Yea, there are cheap SSDs out there, from a lot of manufacturers in fact.

OP either watched an old video or is pulling the numbers from where the sun never shines..

Maybe 2 years ago, but this year SSD prices dropped a lot. And if you haven't used a computer with an SSD before, you are going to love one as the difference is night and day.

Check out this decent performance 500GB SSD's price:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ft8j4D/crucial-mx500-500gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct500mx500ssd1

 

It's $65. SSDs used to cost upwards of 10 times more than hard drives for the space they gave, but that's a thing of the past now. It is very much recommended.

 

As a PSU enthusiast, I sugges you take a look at which PSU you buy. There's a world of difference between the cheapest, lowest end and a good power supply, and that can be the difference between your computer flat out dying because of a lightning strike or blackout, or living through such an event.

 

Usually the way we do new builds here on LTT is we ask you a couple different things: your budget, what you'll use the computer for, and whether you already have a monitor / mouse / keyboard. Then you'll get a couple suggestions for builds which you can start on
