This is what i'm looking at so far, it's fitting my budget. I just would like any critiques, advice or any wisdom to impart on me before i hit the purchase button. I already own the GPU, but it will probably be the soonest upgrade anyways. I would like to know if it would be better to crossfire that or just get a new one. Also any advice on an hdd would be helpful, i'm trying to wait for an ssd to go on sale for a second drive too. Well that was probably incoherent. Thank you in advance, also if you have the patience try to explain things like my brain is half made of a rock. So more or less explain like i'm 5. Thank you again.
