How's my setup

I have an FX 8120 in an asrock 970 extreme 4 cooled by an Arctic Freezer 13. For the GPU I'm rocking an r9 270. I've got 8 gb of g.skill 1600mhz ram and plenty of storage. I've got around 100 bucks to spare and wondered, what should I upgrade? Currently I'm guessing my best bet is an SSD. If you have any SSDs to recommend please do.

Plus it's $10 less than his budget, so OP can get a flash drive with the rest.

 

MY FLASH DRIVE IS BASICALLY THE MOST USEFUL THING I HAVE EVER PURCHASED IN MY LIFE.

 

Get this @RhombusLion

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313092&cm_re=flash_drive-_-20-313-092-_-Product

$9.99, with free shipping you can get both for $100.
