Looks solid. I have many of the same brand names in my system. Should play games as well as anything out there (i.e. one might "measure" a difference but never "see" one when comparing other systems) and be way overkill for normal everyday use SSD makes a small load-time difference for Windows (and games that fit -- cannot go much above half of its capacity without shortening life). But, if money is at all an issue, SSD would be last on the list. For example, two Hard Drives would allow for backing up critical personal information, game saves, etc. Or, one could move up to a GTX680, or subsidize an extra monitor (towards 3 monitor gaming -- depending on the quality of monitor one prefers) for examples.
Sapphire Pulse RX7900XTX, 3 monitors = 23P (1080p) + SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G7 1000R curve (4K/2160p) + 23P (1080p), AMD R9-7950X (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420), 64GB RAM@6.0GHz, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER MB, (4x M.2 SSD + 2xSSD + 2xHD) = ~52TB storage, EVGA 1600W PSU, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower, ASUS RT-AX89X 6000Mbps WiFi router, VKB Gladiator WW2 Stick, Pedals, G.Skill RGB KB, AORUS Thunder M7 Mouse, W11 Pro

The 670 is only a tab bit slower then the 680, so no need for me to spend an extra $100 dollars. I have 3 monitors now, but don't play in surround gaming, I use them for other things.

System is up and running, tried Arma II the other day and it's a HUGE improvement over my old system. There's grass in Arma!
