Firstly, do your homework. Learn what makes a good processor, graphics card etc. Working out what you need to buy is the hard part, as for building it there are plenty of tutorials on youtube. Regarding storage, i would go for a hybrid drive rather than an ssd hdd combo. that way you have some insurance, should the drive fail, so that you an recover the data. If an ssd dies, game over. You lose everything. Regarding my build, which i built back in february, i definately regret going for the gpu i went for a geforce gtx 660, i could have got much better for the same money, that's first on my upgrade list but that won't happen for a few years. be wary of a non-stock cpu cooler also, if it is less powerful than the stock, it voids the cpu's warranty. just a little advice, first and formost, do your homework.
