My current build:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/316tE

i am on a very low budget this time round and only really need to be able to run ArmA 3, my CPU and GPU meet these reqs now i need to know where to go with best VALUE RAM and HDD...

RAM: I am looking for minimum 6gb preferably 8gb memory DDR3 obviously @1.3ghz
HDD: Decided against SSD as the rewards for me do not outweigh the price...
Looking for at least 1TB HDD - SATA3..
and that is more or less the entirety of my hard drive knowledge :)

any and all solutions will be greatly appreciated!

many thanks in advance guys! :D

I would really prefer a budget on RAM + HDD, otherwise, here are the cheapest one.
Other than that the build looks pretty solid.

The speed won't affect gaming, but it will affect how quickly things load. It's a marginal decrease in load times from 1330 MHz to 1600 MHz, so if that's not worth £10 to you, then stick with the 1330MHz Silverline!

Never be afraid to ask questions!
 

This, I would pay 10 pounds, especially since it would be a better value RAM and would benefit you long-term.
