Heya! Planning an i7 6700K, Z170 GTX 1070 build and need a HDD!

 

THX

Well, the one you go for depends on how much space you need. We can't really help with the size without knowing more. 

 

As for brand, things like the Seagate Barracuda and WD Blue drives are good options at a decent price.

Ok So 2TB WD Blue Good As It Is Cheapest In Australia  Around $80 AUD so like $60-65 USD

That depends on you. I've seen some people do fine with 1TB and I've seen some people wanting 8TB HDDs because they've completely maxed out their 5TB WD Blacks.

 

As far as brand goes, the WD Blues and Seagate Barracudas are good go-to drives. If you're wanting something a bit faster and more reliable (w/ a 5 year warranty) the WD Black is available at a premium.

And Also? 850 or 750 Evo? 250GB btw

Ok I think the 2TB Blue will be fine Ty!

That's actually a good price... I've only seen 2TB HDDs go for $100 AUD...

850 EVO. Performance is similar but the 850 EVO offers longer durability.
