This is a $550 build I made yesterday for anyone looking and since it's under budget you could upgrade the 270x to a 280

Hey there, if you are building the rig for normal everyday use then I would suggest the WD Blue hard drive.

In case you want to use it for gaming and will be aiming at performance then you might check the WD Black HDD.

It has larger cache, a 5-year warranty and will still fit your budget. You can check the specs on the WD site.

WD Blue - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=800

Hope this helps.
