$750 Canadian build

[Clanscorpia]

Ugh, all the builds people make me are overkill so I'm lowering my budget so I can get a decent mouse and keyboard instead. I'll be playing on 1080p and I'm not planning on upgrading soon.I'll be programming, playing non mainstream games (except Minecraft, CS:GO, and maybe some AAA games if I can convince my parents to let me), but I honestly don't need Ultra, I've been playing on low for 3 years so I'm used to it. This is my idea for a build, what do you guys think I could change?

Added a SSD and got a better GPU at expense of the CPU so depends on what you'd rather have.

I don't need an SSD, I have a 5400 RPM hard drive in my current laptop so even a 7200RPM hard drive would be a huge difference

an ssd would make a much better difference it would take of about 4 seconds of boot times compared to a 7200 hdd

As someone has switched between a computer with one and without one I makes a massive difference

If you can get this, it's definitely worth it.

As far as benchmarks go though, the 380 is waaaaaaaaaaaaay overkill for me, I don't even play AAA games and I play my current games with an E1-2500 APU. This is what I have right now but I'm pretty set on the 950 or 370 whichever one you guys think is better.

I would personally get a R7 370 over a GTX 950, but that's just me and my bias opinion.
