You might want to get an aftermarket CPU cooler but that depends on if you're going to overclock or not. Also you should get a HDD because I'm pretty sure 250GB won't last you that long.

I was planning on getting an external storage device,but if I didn't would it be better to get a Hybrid or a second storage device?
