SSD will make your PC more responsive, but it won't affect game fps, it does affect loading time though.

 

Me personally would go with 270X, it has better value.

But performance, GTX 960 (slightly faster).

SSD = Faster boot time / loading time. If you don't care about the boot / loading time, then just get a HDD.

GPU wise, 270x would be cheaper as well as (I think) perform better. But the heat / Power consumption would also be greater.

What kind of loading time? To start a game?

Starting the game and loading time.

 

what kind of loading time?

Clock speed isn't everything, it's about the "Specs".
