the 850 is actually cheaper than the 1000 that was suggested and it was actually available to be shipped to Hawaii. The 680 was my personal choice since I just recently tried it and I was very pleased with it. I paid 212$ for the one I ordered and I think that's still 120 less than what it usually goes for. I didn't see the need for an SLI 760 setup or an monster beast like the 780 even though it was tempting to order it

The SSD on the other hand had very good reviews in the 250GB and is also faster in reading and writing with above 500

It should fit my needs very good
