this is my pc build around 2 years ago. Right now i want to upgrade my hard drive since one is at its limit and is from time to time prompting me to replace it or repair it.

My choice from where I am is only this

HD
Western Digital 3TB Green (WD30EZRX) IntelliPower SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive $134
SEAGATE 3TB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA (ST3000DM001) hard drive $111

-mostly only for storage of pictures and documents, some games are to be allocated on the working hard drive.

SSD
SAMSUNG 120GB 840 EVO SSD hard drive $89
-i am placing my OS here and reserved for most utilized programs.

other choice for SSD

INTEL 120GB 530 SSD 2.5" SATA hard drive around $88
PLEXTOR M6S 128GB 2.5" SATA SSD $79
KINGSTON 120GB SSDNOW V300 hard drive $60
KINGSTON 120GB SSD HYPERX 3K hard drive $87
KINGSTON 120GB SOLID STATE DRIVE HYPERX FURY SERIES $73

I need to know if my current specs will handle my upgrade without a problem or I will need to upgrade another component.For the Hard drive i know that the WD is at 5400rpm while the Seagate is at 7200RPM, question now is which is better in terms of maintenance. Also for the SSD I choose the Samsung SSD because of brand trust, I am not familiar with any SSD's in our market.

Samsung 850 evo is what you want for your OS drive. It is only 10 bucks more than the 840 and preforms better plus you get double the space.

For your main storage the seagate is a good one. With your mobo you can have 6 sata drives.

Thank you sir, I was contemplating on this problem is I dont live in the US where most electronics are easily bought on the internet and sometimes like the one you posted are heavily discounted. Actually the upgrade would cost me about $144 for the SAMSUNG 250GB 840 EVO SSD

The 840 will be fine then. Good luck with the upgrades
