CPU - i5 2500K

Saving go for SSD

With a build like that your limiting factor is going to be your HDD. I suggest that if your going to be gaming (which obviously you are just by looking at your specs) to either increase your budget and and add a SATA III 6Gb SSD or Swap the Core i7-2600k with at Core i5-2500k and use the saving to get a SSD. The SSD will decrease boot and game load time dramatically and then you can have a HDD for common files. I do not suggest purchasing a OCZ Solid III 60Gb I had one and it was a miss. Other then that I might suggest flashing your 6950 to a 6970 and overclocking to the same specs as 6970. Oh and if you look at benchmarks a WD 500Gb SATA III 6Gb Caviar Blue is faster then the drive you selected and almost halve of the price

P.S. I back up what the post above says not trying to steal his thunder

well there is almost no chance of bios flashing with the newer 6950's, very rare. the samsung f3 is faster than any caviar blue i think, and for 10 more you can get a 1tb caviar black which is even faster too. also the hdd isn't a limiting faster, it has no affect on gaming what so ever, the only thing it will hinder is the time it takes you to load a map, then it goes to the ram which is wayyy faster.

Wouldn't a map load count as a "Game Loading Time"? Because if you read my post I did say a SDD will decrease boot times and "Game Loading Times". According to a few benchmarks that I looked at before I purchased my two caviar blues, the samsung f3 is slower.

i think the f3 was the fastest 1tb under the cav blacks which costed like 20/30 more, but now the f3's back at 70 so whatever, and 2 500's in raid 0 will always be faster than any single 1tb.
