need advice on really budget pc

[nestnest77]

good day everyone,
after alot of advices, this is my planned system, wonder if i can do any adjustments that wouldn't make much of a difference to the performance, to make it below 1k. Purpose of system for work(little media related), cs:go and sc2 only.


Processor: i5-4460
Mainboard: Asrock h81m hds both for $331

Memory: G.Skill RipJaws-X 1600MHZ (4GB x 2pcs) CL9 $115

Storage: Samsung evo 850 250gb ssd $219

Casing:Cm haf 912 adv usb 3.0 case $139

Graphics Card:MSI GTX750 Gaming 2GB DDR5
PSU:Thermaltake SE 530W 80+ PSU both for $269

OS:win 7 home prem 64bit $130

Total(prices taken from pcthemes): $1203


enquires:
1) is getting a ssd enuff, or is it better to still get a hdd as well? for my previous system, i only use below 200gb of data space..

all advices are well appreciated!

i have heard that i5 and i7 performance are quite close, but i3 is quite far off i5, is it true?

Depending on games, Sc2 and CS go with i3 more then enough.

If you are only using them for watching video, play gaming and surfing net , the performance diff is not really noticeable.
