Hey guys I am building a new system and I am deciding on what size hard drive I need. I could get a 2TB HDD (7200 rpm, 64mb cache), or downgrade to 1TB but get a 128 SSD as well. The 1TB 128 SSD combo will be more expensive, but I think it would be worth it. My third option is to save some money and get just a 1TB HDD. This system will be used for gaming, 3D animation (still pictures and videos, which could get long and take up a lot of space), and other general stuff. Right now I have 1TB in my system and I think it is half full, but right now I am only using this PC for gaming and general stuff. Right now all the parts I have come to $705, which excludes the storage and the PSU. I will also need some monitors and a good keyboard/mouse, but I think I will start with one monitor for now and add on to it as I go.

My budget is $1K, but I could bump it up to 1.2k if I really think it is worth it

So, what do you guys think I should do? Thanks for any help and advice!
