I have been saving up for a while now for my first actual pc and was wondering if you guys had any good ideas that would go with my budget. I only have about $1100 to buy the computer and 2 monitors. I'll just use my crapy old mouse and keyboard for now. And help will help so ya. Thanks guys

I need a mix between both.

Yes I need an OS.

See my edit.

Is it possible to add an ssd into that or not?

It is, but you would have to sacrifice GPU power. You dont need an SSD, and I would personally rather have more GPU power. If you dont feel the same thats fine, we can add one, no issue.
