What makes your PC more responsive and snappy?

For my new build I don't want to skimp on anything. I want to make it as fast as I can. What are the parts I should not skimp on to make the PC faster and more responsive?

An SSD would suffice. But if you want to trump that, go with a PCIe SSD or regular SSDs in RAID 0.

A powerful Central Processing Unit. This is just a bit more important than an SSD.

i think you mean a solid state drive ?
