Hello guys. Well, I wanted to ask you something. My old PC's PSU is dead. I took advantage of that and I started to build a new PC (because the other one was getting old). I realised that the old PC's HDD was a SATA II and I was trying to get a SATA III. I thought that buying a SSD instead of a SATA III HDD for the same price would be better.
The SATA II storage is a western digital blue WD5000AAKS
The SATA III I was trying to get is a Seagate barracuda 7200.14 1TB (45€)
And the SSD is a SANDISK SSD PLUS 120GB (same price, budget SSD)
What should I get? Is there any important difference between that SATA II and SATA III. Is that SSD ok?Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Look at the Antec earth watts green power supplies with with 80 + certification. Have several and are flawless. 500 Bronze 5 years continuous running with i7 2600 and a 650 Platium with the X99 machine. Have a 850 EVO 256 for an image back up on schedule. and 5 other various Intels and Samsungs. Intels are best. No internal hdds here as they aren't that reliable and make a lot of heat. external, yes for back ups.
Sincerely,

Gonna go fast for you here.
No hdd will saturate, data speed wise, so no diff. 2 or 3 other than capacity for the hdds ya list. The Sandisk SSD is a sata 3 and will run many times faster than a hdd. and other advantages. The real issue for you is do you want to sacrifice data capacity, hdd for raw speed SSD?

Yeah, 620gb is enough for me. And I have external storage devices, so no problem. I was thinking too about the possibility of taking a Samsung 850 EVO SSD 120GB instead of the other but sacrificing PSU. Instead of 520W seasonic S12II I would take a 430W seasonic S12II. Is that enough for me with a i3 4170, MSI gtx 750ti, cooler máster tx3 evo, asrock H81M-DGS, 2x4 RAM and the storage? Thanks
