Why would you add and SSD that, in appreciable size, costs %50 of the build?
I find it hilarious that $310 machine uses $90, ninety dollars, on a 1.5tb hard disk!

Hard disk speed is about the last thing you put in the upgrade priority if you're looking for game performance (obviously, if you're just screwing around on the internet or doing spreadsheets this is different). A Graphics card is #1, CPU and ram are next depending.

It's one thing to build a full-spec ~1k machine for PS2 right now, that'll play PS2 unless nothing current plays PS2.
Going bargain basement before we have experience with it is begging to have a crap experience. Not to mention if you need a PC for PS2 you're always going to get a better machine cheaper the closer to release you get.
