Which is why I said to get an i5 6500, cheaper motherboard, and no aftermarket CPU cooler (you don't need one for a 6500) so you can afford one. I would highly recommend not skimping on an SSD. Getting one later means you either have to go through a cloning hassle or reinstall Windows and figure out where all the files on your old drive go. Trust me, just get an SSD now and not worry about it later.

also the reason im going for the expensive mobo and cpu and memory is because i got a combo pack where i save 40 bucks

goddammit now im confused again as what to go for 

Well if you get what I linked you you could get basically the same system performance in most games and you'd have an actually faster system.

 

Also, why do you need an optical drive?

But like it doesn't really save you all that much money. That's a couple bucks here and there on each part and you end up without an SSD.

 

EDIT: What is your budget? I'll put something together for ya.

As I just said, don't do that. At least get an SSD first and get a HDD later. You can easily plug in a hard drive and have it work. You can't just plug in an SSD and be ready to go. It's an involved process. Installing Windows on an SSD first keeps things simple.

Whatever you can afford. I find 120GB to be good enough.

A 120GB PNY CS1311 will do you nicely. If you get a PCIe SSD it'll cost hundreds more and (although it'll be faster) isn't worth it unless you're moving around huge files from it to another drive.

Your motherboard comes with SATA data cables and your PSU has SATA power cables. The board will probably come with two as most do. The PSU will have plenty of SATA connections.

Kingwuin/G2A? 

 

Also, why not? A 1TB HDD costs more than a 120GB SSD which you can buy later when you've got money set aside for it..
