SSD or better mouse and keyboard?

hey guys, i have about 80 bucks (actually 90.. but Canada tax kills me.) and i was thinking, I don't have an ssd in my build, and i only have this old 5400 rpm 2.5 inch drive that was in my ps3, which i wiped and put windows on, along with a 1 tb external usb 3.0 drive i install my games on. but i also have a pretty.. meh, mouse and keyboard. (Microsoft 400 keyboard and some old Logitech optical mouse.) they get the job done, but this is my first pc setup, and i want your guys' opinions, should i get this ssd (http://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-MX100-adapter-Internal-CT128MX100SSD1/dp/B00KFAGD88/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423416567&sr=1-10&keywords=ssd) or a different keyboard and mouse, which i have a budget for both, under 80 bucks. (any recommendations?)

Buy a cheap "gaming" mouse and save up for a week or two more to get an SSD. That keyboard will do just fine, a mouse is much more important for gaming.
