That's what i'm hoping, as long as i can play BF4, rising storm and possibly dayZ on high settings then i'll be a happy bunny. ;)

What i need to figure out regards the SSD is what exactly i install on it. I know it will have the OS on it but if i want to put games on it such as BF4, rising storm etc would i have to install progs such as origin or steam on there too or can they go on the 1TB drive? Any music, pics are stored on my 2TB readynas so will probably have bare minimum on the actual HDD.

240GB is enough to have the OS, all your programs, plus Steam and Origin installed. Steam now supports multiple libraries - that is, you can choose which drive to install games to when you start downloading them.

They don't have to be on any particular drive, though, which is true for most programs.

cheers for the info, i assume it would be better to have the games on the SSD though purely for quicker loading times?
