Put it all in the card, SSD can wait, it only gives slightly faster load times in reality?

Agree with Dermot. You may be able to pick up a 120GB SSD for ?50 at a later stage, but you'd be best saving and getting a 240GB SSD. My 120GB SSD fills up fairly fast :(

I has a "MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 2048MB" in my machine;
?176 / ?214 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-206-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1830
?246 http://www.elara.ie/productdetail.aspx?productcode=JCEMSI-N760-TF-2GD5-OC
?225 http://www.komplett.ie/product/zkb-01com/80011815/msi-geforce-gtx-760-gaming-2gb-pci-e/details.aspx

Komplett used to ship for free, but dunno about now. Elara is based in Parkwest, Dublin, and are handy if you can pick it up in the shop. Overclockers, not sure about the shipping to here, but I'd say it'd fit in a Parcel Motel box handy enough. AVOID Pixmania, as they're a shower of wankers.

If getting them off Hardwareversand, let me know; if you place the URL's through a specific site, you can shave about 20% off the order.

Also, what SSD are you getting? Not all are good, and some are horribly bad.

These 2 for a cheep-ish upgrade, the mobo I have is PCIe2 and Im running a gtx 750ti.
