Or maybe a smaller SSD and a pair of these in SLI: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-140-OK&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1830

Or no SSD and a 580. Or a single 570. Depends about the demands of the game and what you expect from your gaming rig.

I'd go something like this - Maybe change to an SLI mobo just in case and drop the big SSD.

edit: what am I on about, the gd53 does SLI. And it has a grenade too, whatever the hell that is!
