>1tb hdd removed (would add in future) (available with only exotic pc) -60$
CONS:
>Stock ram as RAM upgrade is very expensive

>high price than all other options
2. From Pro-star - 1990$
UPGRADES:

Upgrades are against stock ram ADATA 1600 mhz CL11 and SSD Kingston write speed -500 mpbs and read speed - 350mps and Stock Thermal Compound
I am soo confused on what to buy.
So, can some one please help with your views on how much increase in performance can I see or is it worth with ram upgrade from 1833 mhz CL10 vs 1600 mhz CL9 vs 1600 mhz CL11 and SSD upgrades
Thank you

I'd say higher frequency RAM is not worth it. You will not really benefit from it at all.
As for upgrading SSDs from stock, only do so if you need the extra space or speed. Otherwise the combo of stock SSD+HDD works well for fast booting/work and a nice amount of space. -

But as you start to fill up the storage then SSD slows down, and this is when 500+MB/s is needed, sort of like bandwidth which reduces over time. -
Thank you @ryzeki and @Kevin@GentecPC for replies. I think I can stick with stock components according to my usage
