adding an ssd just to boot in 7 seconds instead of 30 is a waste of time.  as for games ah loads on mine in about 4 seconds.  better to use the 100 bucks to buy beer as not like you are sitting at your desk ready to shoot in 7 seconds.

Hey, I don't make the trends, I'm just following them! 

I would respond that why build a 1500$ system when you can play aces high or most other games with a gts250 and a pre 1155 could/board, at a cost of 700$ tops, and spend the extra 800$ on hookers and blow as well as beer.  I'll leave the answer to you.

Personally I like instant on as opposed to the 45-60 seconds my win7 older box booted with a 7200rpm drive, as well as instant loading games like the total war series that take another 30 seconds to load.  It's up to Joachim if he thinks that is worth 100$ or not.  MY point is decide this NOW, as adding an ssd later will be a pain as he'll have to move the os over, as using an ssd for data only....well then I agree 100 percent - not worth it.

IMO
I like having a SSD. I enjoy the fast bootup time. I enjoy the OS and the couple programs I have on it which boot fast. I would rather have a SSD then beer. I don't always have something todo while the computer boots.

When I build the other computer for my wife and daughter I will put a SSD in that one also.

Thats just my opinion.

because  if you spend 800 bucks on a pre 1155 system you will not be spending your money wisely.  if your budget is 800 bucks then fine but if it's 1500 then your money is better spent on a better video card or faster cpu or perhaps a sound card or speakers or a nicer hotas.  heck you can even spend the 100 bucks on a better chair or a second monitor.

my system boots in about 30 seconds.  games load within 3 to 4 seconds and they dont play better in ssd.  I think the point is to spend the money wisely not just spend it.   then again it's his money to do as he wishes.
