Re: are these good enough specs for a gaming pc?
It's a good spec for the price as I recently built one similar in spec for a fellow clan member, but with a 5870 instead.

The ram will be fine at the moment I have 8gb and I never seem to go above 2 or 3gb of ram being used.

As has been mentioned the price difference between the I5 2500 and the I7 2600 is not worth it unless you are going to start doing video and audio work on the pc as well.

As has already been mentioned though what games are you going to play at what resolution and what detail level do you want to run them at?

As for the HDD and SSD there are benefit's when loading windows and games but after that there is no difference in general game play when using a SSD over a HDD.
