Double the SSD capacity now. You'll gain better performance on top of the additional storage.

Grab the Intel Core i5-4690K while it's on sale:

If you have a microcenter around you can get the 4670k for $200 and 40 off that asrock board with another $10 mir, but you have to pay tax
 
No Mcs anywhere near unfortunately, I think even the nearest best buy is about 3 hours away.

Ah nope, they must have stuck one in about an hour away while I wasn't looking.

As for MC.... nearest is 131 miles. :eek:
