Think about it, do you really need an SSD, saw a few posts about having photoshop on the same ssd as your os and in the end the guy thought having 3 seperate ssd's would be better then having a massive harddrive with 10 000rpm or something ridiculous.
So 1 for the os and programs, 1 for files and 1 for the scratch files as the scratch files would deteriorate the SSD faster than files and os stuff.
Again, do you really need an SSD?
CPU is indeed used for rendering but for viewport rendering ( what you see when you model and such ) is all done GPU, so if you will be doing huge and complex scenes it will begin to slow down.
Experienced it myself on the hangout.
Was showing my plant library in maya which consisted out of an instanced scene, so 1 lump of "grass" was instanced around 1000 to 1500 times.. and it was slowing down and lagging and I have a 1 gb card.
So it is advisable if you are going to do complex scenes
Else get a decent cheap one, don't rely on the intel graphics 4000! haha
