So originally I was going to get Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EALX 1TB 7200RPM SATA3/SATA 6.0 GB/s 32MB Hard Drive (3.5 inch) (http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=HD-W10EALX&c=CJ) but its out of stock on the website. Here is what I plan on using as a replacement: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX (http://www.amazon.com/WD-Blue-Desktop-Hard-Drive/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=dp_ob_title_ce)


Here is my system build:


So this will be the first computer that I am building, that being so I am not looking to dish anywhere more than $600 on it. My purpose for this computer is so that I can play games such as WoW on high-ultra graphics, and other good games such as battlefield on at least high graphics. Here is what I have so far. Let me know what you think any advice is much appreciated.

I will be upgrading to a new video card, but how do you feel about the SATA hard drive? I was originally going for the Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EALX 1TB 7200RPM SATA3/SATA 6.0 GB/s 32MB Hard Drive (3.5 inch) (Link Above), but it was out of stock. I found the WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX (Link Above), and I wanted to know if that would be a valid replacement.

Thank you for the GPU upgrade recommendation as well.
