Hi,

This is my parts list:

Cooler: HYper 212x

RAM: 2x 8GB DDR4 @2133 MHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte H170 -HD3

GPU: MSi gtx 1070 gaming x
PSU: Corsair RMX 750x

Case: phanteks ethoo pro m midi tower acrylic window

SSD : 120 gb kingston for my os

HDD : HDD WESTERN DIGITAL WD20EZRZ 2TB BLUE SATA3 5400 RPM

I HAVE ORDERED ALL THE ABOVE PARTS AND PAID FOR THEM . I WILL USE THIS PC MAINLY FOR GAMING .

 

SO HERE IS MY PROBLEM: SHOULD I RETURN THE 2 TB WD BLUE 5400RPM  AND GET  AN 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK 1TB 7200RPM( THEY HAVE THE SAME PRICE IN MY COUNTRY)

 

THANK U

Budget?

1000gb is more than enough for 20-50 games depending on their size. I suggest you get a larger SSD though if you are planning on doing anything more than gamming or you wan't some extra space for a few games to load faster.

i can only pick blue 2 tb or black 1 tb

For the difference in performance will be very minimal. Keep more space and instead buy a bigger SSD when you can.

Go for the 2TB Blue. The performance difference isn't very large and you'll benefit more from the capacity.

The case comes with one ssd 2,5 bracket so i can have only  1 ssd ,otherwise i have to find one bracket on amazon and pay the cost of shipping it to greece

go with the 2TB Blue.

Well, actually, if you're playing any game that has to load off of your HDD, you'd see a huge difference going from 5400rpm > SSD .... kind of like booting to windows on a HDD compared to SSD ... could save you MINUTES for loading.
