You completly forgot about it, meaning either you want a less powerful card or you genuinely forgot about it?

 

EDIT- Im stupid... Get the rx480 or the 1060 if you dont wanna spend that much on a gpu (the rx480 is IMO a better choice.)

I didn't think i could afford it while also getting a SSD, trade off might be worth it but on a cheapo 1080p 60hz i rather just go with a 480 and a SSD

Go with this- I dont know why you need a 400gb ssd when you already have a 1TB hdd
