That's a great case. They are a matter of personal preference really.
You could halve the SSD and double the HDD for sure. Normally, people put the OS, commonly used apps like browsers and MS Office, and their games on the SSD so they are faster. It just depends on what you want.
 
This build allows you to add another one of those cards later on in SLI.
