I assume you have an old PC. Which means you have parts to salvage.
SSD is optional. It'll improve load times but for gaming you will have minimal benefit. Drop it if it means you lowering your...

This is really excellent info for the OP.
From those ads, one can get a really good idea of what type of items might come on sale on BF, and how good the prices might be.
