Go to solution Solved by twistedapple89,

I would go with a Corsair cooler, just from the comparison of looking up both models, you will be much happier.  Also possibly look at WD (Western Digital), you will get better use out of an SSD even if it does cost more money trust me, but if you still want to stick with the HDD then still WD (Western Digital). Let me break down my choices so that way I'm not just blowing smoke.

 

Corsair cooler this one -> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181101&cm_re=corsair_liquid_cooling-_-35-181-101-_-Product has a long life and the install is much easier. It keeps temps down very well even in overclocking times and can have a very quiet fan speed. 

 

Western Digital (WD) this one -> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820250086&cm_re=western_digital_ssd-_-20-250-086-_-Product this is a great SSD instead of the Kingston, it has a lower failure rate over time and as for the HDD this one -> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339&cm_re=western_digital-_-22-236-339-_-Product the platters are subject to less vibration during run times and the warranty support behind any WD product is amazing.
