SSDs improve the user experience. Much faster boot times, for example. If there is any help for crunching, I haven't noticed it.

Not to rain on your parade, but MicroCenter's GPUs are almost always $20-$50 more expensive than the same ones at TigerDirect or NewEgg. Might be worth getting the GPU elsewhere. The often make up for it with lower priced CPUs so if you buy all the pieces parts there, it ends up being a wash.

That, plus the video card is NICE. Great setup. Can't wait to see that thing cut loose!
My husband was like oh we got the bitcoin video card, we can make lots of money now!
lol do not ever ever *ever* mine bitcoins on a GPU. Even if the GPU was free, the cost of electricity to run it will be far higher than your return. Litecoin on the other hand...My husband was like oh we got the bitcoin video card, we can make lots of money now!
