Yes there is advantages of SSD+HDD. Much better GB/Price ratio.

With the rest of the build, what is your intended use for this? Got an example of what games?
This type of setup is majorly overkill for most standard games. (League of Legends, WoW, GW2, etc etc)
On top of this, I'd personally got for an AMD APU paired with an r7 graphics card, maybe a cheap 260/265. This combined is more than enough for gaming at a fraction of the cost of the above build. A 7600 is ~$100 and an r7 graphics card <$100, as low as $50-60 for a 265 at times.

I may sound like a sexist ass hole, but it's nice to see a girl building a PM, it's mostly been a bi-gender hobby and it makes me happy to see both genders taking part in it.
