I'm planning on building a new pc soon and I'm looking at the silverstone rvz02 which only really fits 2.5 inch drives. I saw the seagate firecuda sshd which runs at 5400 rpms I think would that be fast enough for games or should I look else where?

SSHDs are pontless.
There is not enough cache to hold OS and progrmas, and their price point makes them barley cheaper then an SSD.

If this is for a second drive then get a 7200rpm HDD, if for OS/Programs then you should be looking at an SSD.
If at all possible go with Samsung EVO. There are alot of cheap drives that are not very good (Sandisk Plus, Toshiba/OCZ, Kingston UV400, ADATA, etc).

You won't get much of a performance boost from an SSHD compared to a HDD. You'll only see speed increasing for data that is in the SSD's cache. I'd still recommend an SSD if you can afford it.
