I win tho, that ssd.

Better looks and better PSU > SSD

Better looks and better PSU > SSD

psu is good enough for 970 and in that budget looks don't really hold any value in my opinion. SSD all the way.

Better quality PSU > SSD imo. I just don't see the big SSD hype. My PC loads up fine with over 830GB of data.

Wouldn't streaching an extra ~20$ for a 4690k be a little bit better?

no because you would need z97 mobo and a cooler to take advantage of it.

Oh ok, thanks

I would take the SSD, but a better PSU is important. I would not run a high end GPU like 970 on that very meh 500W EVGA.
