There's no point getting Hybrid drive as your second drive - they're optimised for frequently loading data ie windows, programs, so unless you install games on it it won't do any good. Just get a quick regular HD

Those aren't cheap case. Get the corsair 500R. and there's no point of getting a 760(4GB) unless you play in somewhat higher resolutions, get a 280x instead.

snowctrl :

hi what do you think about the rest of my system.

also sourodip

what do you thinkof the rest of the system and also what do you think is there any other cases you could suggest

I have the Vengeance C70 - it's a great case, one you could look on as a long term investment.

But it isn't the cheapest

snowctrl :

+1 for this. A Hybrid SSD/HDD will work fine as your only drive. They cache frequently accessed files to the SSD portion automatically.

Get yourself a Coolermaster Elite 430 with 5 (or 6 if you ant to change front fan too) Corsair Blue Led AF120's

The case has awesome airflo looks pretty cool and is perfect size for a single gfx card build

I'd suggest getting a cabinet like the corsair 500R/400R(if u can afford) and a 280x which is better than the 760 and there's no need of getting a 760(the reason i mentioned earlier). And yes, get at least a 1TB HDD. For the mobo, the asus sabertooth 990fx R2.0 is evenly priced with the gigabyte one.I'd say the sabertooth is better.
