A 'luxury item' that's becoming more and more affordable with each passing day. The best reason for holding off on an SSD purchase is because it'll cost a lot less a few months to a year down the line.

And thats why i said that they're coming down in prices, but i just cant recommend trading frames for faster boot/load times, unless you live off video rendering and stuffs that needs to get done asap.

my opinion of SSD in a low end machine

if you cant afford an SSD, dont get one until you have some spare cash in the future

if you CAN afford an SSD, spend the money on your gpu or cpu to allow a better gaming experience, and then buy an SSD in the future when you have spare cash

 

SSD is a luxury item, some of us take it for granted, i generally dont recommend getting an SSD on the get go when building a budget system for the reason above

because storage can be expanded, but hardware can only be swapped (if you say that you can SLI/CF, then ill argue that SLI/CF low end products is just as stupid as the idea sounds)

In my opinion, load times play a part in your gaming experience, to the point where if I see a 240GB SSD for the same price as a 1TB HDD, I'd swap it in. Certainly, it makes sense to allocate most of your budget towards performance, but if you find yourself playing, say, modded Skyrim most of the time, reduced load times greatly enhance the experience.

i rather swap out the hdd for an SSD in this case, if the op doesnt need that much capacity to begin with

SSD first can prevent the need to re-install windows when the OP gets a HDD

sure, i agree load times can make a me go mad sometimes in games, but having a stuttery mess is even worse imo

Just want to play games for about 4 to 5hrs.. this is my first rig so please help me

 

Why would you get 4x4GB sticks? There's absolutely no reason to. Go for a better/cheaper motherboard and get 2x8GB sticks instead.
