Hello, I'm about to build my rig next month and I need to choose my storage componenents. I already have decided my SSD (KIngston SSDNow V300 120GB) which I'll use as my OS boot drive and to store some key programs like browsers. So the point is, the extra 15-20 bucks are really improving my user experience when I run games and big files like a Premier Pro projects and BF4? These are my future system specs and peripherals.

As you can see is a red and black build, if you guys have any suggestions in changing some components, you're welcome. :D

I Would choose WD Green if your only going to be storing data but if you are going to play games and such off that drive i would go with blue.

Please don;t get the V300, it's slower than it used to be and Kingston changed parts without letting people know

I would rather get PNY XLR8 which is faster and same price

PCPartpicker is saying the EVO and the case don't match up...

Between the Blue, Black or a Seagate, I would just get the cheapest one. Performance is about the same and Black offers only a longer warranty (but if the drive dies, data is gone even if you got warranty)

I know it doesn't fit because of the fan on the side panel, but I'll remove it.
