Just received an unexpected sales bonus so I have about a grand to play with. Any suggestions on the hard drive?
If you are going with a $1000 budget, I'd change:
CPU:i5 3570k $230
HDD: WD Black 1TB $90
Vid Card: Sapphire Radeon 7950 GHZ $280
that puts you at $955
eta: need to get a higher wattage PSU if you get that new video card. 650w minimum.

Would that card be overkill for me? The only games I know for sure I will be playing are the Star Craft expansion and I'd like to get on Day Z.
Also, what about getting an SSD just for my OS and reuse my current HD?
