I got a case already. Only thing I do have really.. Is an SSD really worth it?

Once you got a taste of an ssd you can't go back...

plus, prices have droped a lot these last few weeks. It's very affordable now

Although I wouldn't go for 64GB, it's filled very rapidly. If I was you I would get the M4 120GB, or if you can stretch a little bit for 40£ you can have 240GB

Choose Sata III or Sata 6GB/S, what you picked is outdated and will not use your motherboard to full potential, and 12ms seek time is a lot, 8ms are are pretty common and affordable.

SSD only pick it if you have spare cash for it, you might want to invest those 100 pounds into better GPU or CPU since those things are non-effiecent to replace. You can always just buy a SSD and slide it in, especially as they are dropping prices as time goes on... You cant buy another CPU and use it with the other you already got on your motherboard.

This is a great PSU for this price.
