What made you skimp on the SSD? I bought a 512GB SSD for 66€ last year and now the newer equivalent model sells for 57€.

Hmmm, at those prices I would worry about the quality of the SSD. (I've learned to trust a few brands, learned to avoid a few others, the hard way. The 512GB SSDs I'd consider purchasing go for 2X-4X your mentioned cost).

If you're feeling adventurous, you could try running bcache to speed up HDD access with the SSD.
