are you going to be gaming in 1440p or 4K resolutions? The 780 is still a very good GPU, and the difference in upgrading to a 780Ti isn't worth more than an SSD in my opinion. Besides the speed, it's surprising how loud HDDs are. Especially old dying ones -_-

GTX 780 Ti and get a Seagate Hybrid SSHD instead. It's only slightly more expensive than your average 3.5" desktop hard drive, and you get the benefits of an SSD in most cases, like boot up and application loading times -- and you get huge storage. Comes in 1, 2, 3 and 4 TB flavors.

I would go for 780 Ti + SSD. It's the baddest GPU available.

780 and SSD, there isn't a big enough difference in the GPUs to warrant getting a 780ti. The SSD will make more of a difference to overall performance.
