Are these Hard Drives compatible with my system?

I've been buying upgrades for my desktop and the last thing I need is a hard drive. I do a lot of online gaming so I'd really like an SSD but the amount of space I can get an HDD for the same price is awfully tempting. Ideally I'd like to get an SSD and keep my old hard drive in there for storage.

Here are the parts I've bought so far:

Here are the two hard drives I'm looking at:

So my question is are these compatible with my system? Is there maybe a better suggestion for not too much more money? Should I go with the SSD or the HDD?

My power supply is 1000w and I just got my video card last year.

As far as Hard drive/ SSD goes those will all work. SATA is SATA which is 90% of all PC's use. There are other things like mSATA and M.2 SATA which use different connections that may not be supported so just stick with regular SATA and you will be fine.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the input! I've had a neighbor who's been nice enough to help me out but I've been waiting a week+ for an answer from him and I'm really itching to get this one, haha.
