Then you really won't see the benefits of an SSD. Sure, you will be able to access multimedia much faster and to boot up pretty fast, and you will also have a quieter system, but do you really require high boot speed when you computer can stay on for days? Is that the only feature that attracts you to a SSD?
Even more, do you believe a 6 second boot is worth the price of an SSD? Or perhaps data reliability is worth the price. I mean, you will only see an SSD shine with it's access speed, that's it, if you open an application.. say Word, it will open up incredibly fast, but it will not make the program react faster to your typing, or modify the format of your text any faster than you had perceived before. What I am trying to say is that you will only perceive the benefits of an SSD in the blink of an eye and then you will resume your daily computer activities forgetting you even have an SSD. Please note I have nothing against SSDs, I would love to acquire a couple myself, I just do not think I need to invest in one, a lot of people with incredibly fast machines do not feel the need to use an SSD even when using applications that could greatly benefit from them. It depends on what is worth your money.
This is the situation where you need to ask the following:
What are the activities I normally do in my computer?
Am I encountering issues when performing such activities?
If I am not encountering issues, which ones would I like to enhance or make easier for me?
Are there features that I would like to incorporate into my computer such as running HD movies with frame interpolation, rendering, multitasking or file host?
Answering those will definitely help you and us determine what would be the best piece of hardware or maybe even a peripheral that could help you.
