You want the first one, more cache, will make it a little faster. As for your rig, looks pretty good, although I think you have some overpriced RAM on there and your case is pretty expensive. Pretty sure you should be fine on those games as long as you stay at 1080p.

both HDD are 7200 RPM, so they will perform very similarly. the WD Black series the better deal of the two. I've had to RMA a couple WD Black drives over the years and their customer service has been top notch every time.

Your build looks good though. You could get a higher capacity SSD like the Samsung 850 Evo for only 20 bucks more.

One thing to be aware of with the Core X5 case though is that cable management can be really difficult to make everything look nice. I am using the same case with a set of custom cablemod cables that are shorter than standard and I still have excess cables at the bottom of the case. The front panel wires are also difficult to hide well and would be more so if the power switch is moved to the right side of the case. Great modular case with a ton of options, but cable management is much more difficult that with a traditional case.

I thought caviars were only 2.5" drives, but it seems that WD also makes them in 3.5" now.

Anyway, for the build, I'd highly suggest getting a 256GB SSD, because 128GB is just not enough, even if it means getting a cheaper motherboard or RAM, because it would make a bigger difference than 2400Mhz vs 3200Mhz.

Thanks for The HDD suggestion! But is my Case too expensive because, i have a big deal to Thermaltake Overseer RX-I for 83$ i think. So is that great?

Phys, i upgraded into Savage 240GB. Would that be enough? Thanks for your suggestion!

Hello everybody! Thanks for every of you has post your idea. You guys have helped me! These days cases are going up price. So can you tell me, what is the good case to put those "organs" (especially from Thermaltake)? Anyways thanks!

Midwest, how much you spent on your build? Because i think, what are you going to do with your build? And your build looks interesting!

Mike, can you find what is more cheaper than Core X5. Because i have a feeling that the case is spending my budget. Like i said cases are going up price.
