I recently had my hard drive fail on my alienware x51. I'm looking at getting a samsung evo either 250gb or 500 gb. Im not sure what size i should get, i will be using it to run the operating system and maybe a few games. My other drive which I will also have along with the sad is a Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB. Im not sure if i should get the black WD though? I pretty much use my pc for gaming and financial excel workbooks. Any advice?

Agreed. If you're going 1TB there is no point getting the black, as the blue offers the same speeds and performance essentially.
