So I am going to build my first gaming rig and was wondering how much storage do I need, and should I go with a 10,000 rpm HDD or a Hybrid. I will have a decent amount of music, will be doing video editing, school work, and recording gaming. I will probably upgrade and buy an ssd eventually but right now I just don't have the money to get one that is any bigger than 275 gigs.
Here is my current build-

my budget is $2120 and i can't afford to go over even by a single dollar. Also I know this looks overkill for that monitor but the monitor will be replaced as soon as i can afford a better one.
