In looking at your build, it looks like you are spending $2500+. Wow! I knew Macs were expensive, but I honestly had no idea they were that expensive.
Solid state drives are great, and fast, but the size of drive you get for the money isn't worth it..yet. In time they'll come down in price, but for now, it's more economical to get a normal hard drive, which are still great, just not the latest and the greatest.
