When choosing the hardrive I decided to choose the blue over the black because I just didn't have enough money left. I just want to ask, is the WD Blue still good enough for a gaming pc? I just want to make sure I didn't waste money.

The Caviar Black drives aren't really any faster, they are just higher quality.

Caviar Blue are for lower capacities and have a 2year warranty.
Caviar Black overlap the Blue range at the bottom end but offer higher capacities and a 5year warranty.

if you are really worried about speed just get an inexpensive SSD....you can find some really good ones out there very cheap....just use that as your os and game storage....then you can get a HDD for other media storage
