Since I know nothing about hard drives, pick for me! I guess neither affects gaming in special way, so which of those will last longer?

WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLUE WD10EZEX, 1000GB, 64MB, SATA 3

Hey Tiber1337,
 
It is true that storage affects games only on their loading times and if you don't mind longer ones, pretty much any drive would do the job. 
I can say for WD Blue that it is a great reliable drive the is designed for everyday computing but it can handle heavier applications and games.  It is a very common choice for a standalone drive and for a SSD+HDD combination.
