Problem 1: is that i read a lot of people had issues with the 3tb seagate ,idk if its because of the high capacity or other source , so im asking you please which one would you recommend me (of course in terms of price /performance cuz if not i would buy the WD 1tb Velociraptor)
Problem 2: I want my rig to be silent and powerfull , so feel free to advice of any of the components in order to achive that.
.Thank you very much everyone

Some Minor things - This is from PCPartpicker to help with prices. This will give you a better CPU, higher clocked GPU, a large Screen, Include the dvd player, I left out windows as you did but if you need a copy of windows you'll need to add $90.

Yeah bump down to a 1TB unless you are going to be downloading so many movies and videos. Since you have and SSD so you really don't need that much. 250GB and 1TB are enough for a gamer.

Um try to at least get 2 30mm fans on the top of the case so you can have improved airflow. It's optional though you have enough case fans already but I am just saying.

But overall your build is awesome my friend. Happy Gaming!
