I personally would go this route its a non K cpu as you dont state if you want to OC, its under your budget and by $150 so you cant spend the cash elsewhere i.e. monitor/GPU or just save it for future upgrades. Should keep you going for a good while.

That is the most hillarious card ever     and I have a 650!   lol.    Sorry that you have that.

eh i payed 80$ a year ago (ripoff) but i can now play skyrim and stuffs. but needs to be replaced again because it cant run any newer games than that

 The Wannabe is no longer. Replaced by the Flotilla. If you replace every part of a computer is it still the same computer?

Hi MongyGorp,

 

Regarding the storage it's a good choice to use SSD and HDD. But despite the WD Blue drives are notable for their reliability, these are drives of general use for everyday computing thus you'll need a reasonable performance and speed for gaming so WD Black hard drive would be the best solution in this case. Or WD Black Square as an option. It's a dual drive, not a hybrid one and you can choose where to store OS and data files. It only comes in 2.5 format so in order to use it on your PC you'll just need to get a mounting kit (2.5 to 3.5 SSD-HDD adapter bracket).

 

Also WD Black and WD Black2 drives have a 5 year warranty period meanwhile the WD Blue drives have a 3 year warranty period. 

 

You can check for some more information on  WD Black and WD Black2 drives by the following links: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=760 and http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1190 as well as compare the characteristics of different series of WD drives here: http://www.wdc.com/ru/products/catalog/

 

Hope it helps.
