That's an entirely different product optimized more for benching than quite gaming. Honestly since the GTX 780 and R9 290 came out, I couldn't care less for clocks when running on 1080P resolutions as the base performance of these cards will blow anything you run on them out of the water. The priority has now shifted to noise & cooling. If saving money was a priority then downgrading the card and overclocking it would be the right thing to do.
Based on my actual experiences I never had any issue with Asus, but the cards I bought were all triple slotters so I assumed shifting to dual slot will surely be a cause for compromise for Asus. I don't think Sky reviewed the MSI Gaming series, but another "Wiz" from another site has and that review confirmed my assumption.
As for the 500GB SSD, you're right that it isn't worth it. 1TB SSD still offers better bang for the buck
