Hey GpuTweak,
 
As the guys mentioned, you will need more storage and 256GB won't be enough once you put your programs, games and OS on it. WD Black is a great and fast drive and is fully capable of running your OS, games and to handle recording at the same time. You can consider getting a small 60GB SSD just for the OS and leave everything else for the HDD. WD Blue is also an option as it can also handle gaming and recording and is more inexpensive compared to WD Black, but it is limited to 1TB in size.

HDD for now, you can always add the SSD as a boot device later on!
