Are the SSD's that important O.o

I currently use a VelocyRaptor for my boot.

Yeesh thats a lot of money on a rig without OS/Mointor/Speakers!

If you absolutely want to spend that much then yeah 2500k and 2x 6970 is for you.

i dont think SSD is THAT important, it mainly is used to boot up PC faster, but a few extra seconds isn't worth it for me. People are including it for you cause... there really isn't anything else to add since youre getting top parts for everything anyway.
