2. SSD is not essential and only decreases loading speeds since your ram is very sufficient even with "only" 6GB RAM.
A side note: SSDs have a limited amount of guaranteed read/write cycles. This means it has potentially has a lower livespan than regular HDDs.

edit: got ninja'd

edit2: looks like you are missing a regular hard disk (for normal data)
as for compatibility all i would to is check their manuals and read if the parts comply
also you should consider not getting a P-ATA - its an outdated standard - go for SATA (LG-Burner that is)

He already has a 1.3tb HDD from his current rig that he is going to use.... it was mentioned in OP

Why would you spend 1000$ on a CPU, and then turn around and get budget graphics?

both of these will allow you to play arma 2 on all high with good graphics card. For well under your budget. Hope this helps

I recommend this over building your own cpu. You could not build one this good for cheaper.
