I've seen you recommending WD Black. Do you like it? I find mine to be extremely noisy and really annoying because of the noise.

I felt like trying X99 because of your budget and this is what I came up with;

A friend did recommend me it as one of the more reliable hard drives and you got to like that 5 year warranty.. I've read on Newegg reviews it's not that much louder than the caviar blue.

I have it myself along with a samsung spinpoint(seagate drive) and the WD Black is so freaking loud. I think I would trade it for a 1TB silent HDD.

Alright everyone it's time for me to finally begin buying the rest of my build.

I currently own the: Case, Headphones, Mic, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard, Operating System.

So show me what you can do with a 1000$ budget (excluding the gpus)

Black and White Themed

Do you want a new case? If not, what case do you have?
