One suggestion I can make to you is to go Nvidia. Trust me you'll thank me in the long run. ATI is just not reliable anymore. I fix more ATI and Catalyst problems than I EVER do Nvidia. Games will just refuse to run with certain Catalyst drivers. Sometimes you need to do rollbacks to get certain old classic games to work. Some new games refuse to work because Catalyst decides to be a stubborn child and simply crash you out before the game even has a chance to load properly.
I also recommend avoiding flash based SSD's if you're going to be making it your primary hard drive. Flash based Solid State Drives have a write limit. SDRAM ones do not. The latter is going to be a cost increase, but it won't die randomly in the future.
Just my two cents.
EDIT: Anzekay's suggestion for Nvidia card gets my thumbs up as well.

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.
