stick with the hybrid drive.

It's simply SSD built in a HDD, where SSD has really small storage, worthless

Any specific reason? Because performance isn't one.

Zackbare.. I have installed one for a friend. They actually are pretty great. They get a bad rap in the enthusiast community because we all want more power.

I guess he's worried about it being "future-proof" even tho I agree with you in the CPU's not being that different.

 

That aside, may I ask you if you plan on overclocking or what will you be using this build for?

See, I agree it's a good deal, but in SSD, one can have whole OS and Apps installed in, not SSHD thus SSD will be more powerful. And please quote or tag me by @ so I can know you talked to me.

Yeah I thought so, in the end it's up to you and you'll be the one who'll be spending the money and use it.

Now, can you tell me what will you be using it for? I want to make a pcpartpicker part list but I really wanna know how will you be using the build mainly for, so I can balance the components used.

@Zackbare I am agreeing with you. But he said he doesn't care about load times. So for him it would be better to put the money into a faster components.

But as he can install the game in SSD, he'll get more fps, especially in open-world where everything cannot be stored in RAM..

How RX 480 is better than GTX 1070? GTX 1070 is a lot better than RX 480 especially at 1440p and 4k.

Not all games are optimized for crossfire. In some actually crossfire doesn't work and will actuall decrease the fps and is a lot power consuming. There are only few titles which properly utilise Crossfire and and 3d mark and other benchmarks isn't everything games are sometimes different especially in crossfire and sli.
