no hard drive? i know the argument for speed but as ssd's have finite reads and writes, maybe a secondary hard drive should be in consideration.

1. I was also thinking of going with the 150i and replacing the fans with 120 LL RGB fans and putting my AIO in the front and using the ML fans and placing them a top and at the bottom.

2. what PSU you Recommend

3. I only play about 15-20 games and was planning on adding a 4TB HDD after I figure out how many sata ports will I be using to connect my fans.
