The system is for my Dad
He is a noob and wants INTEL i5 (no AMD please)
The system won't be changed for next 5 years so should be futureproof
The system will run for 12-15 hours a day
Is it possible to have a SSD for OS? What is the expected performance gain?

Oh yeah, before posting I tried building one myself
i5-4670
GA b85 D3H
Corsair vengence 8 gb
Corsair VS450
Kingston 64GB ssd + seagate baracuda 1TB HDD
HP 22FI monitor

a haswell i5 that too just for ms office :facepalm:
ssd ??:facepalm:
i think you should go for better monitors n accesories an i3 is enough for your work for next 5 years
 
Ankush I understand. My dad won't.

Even an i5 is overkill for office tasks. SSD is the height of overkill and I think yu know it. So, it is your duty to make your dad realize it. Also, if he's a noob, he won't be knowing about SSD.
