a) what do you have right now. cant suggest anything when we dont know what you have

b) SSDs will be more beneficial for your daily multitasking/bootup/shutdowns, but a beefier GPU will give you better gaming

I would go for overclock and wait until you can afford a larger SSD.

That would also be my approach.

I voted 2500k as well; but try to get a z68 so you can use an SSD for caching later. I'd drop to 4GB RAM if I didn't have enough money otherwise.
