I need a new HDD, my old ones are full, and I've cleaned out what I can.

Even though I consider myself quite adept in computer knowledge, I've built my PCs myself for the past 13 years, I still have a lot to learn, and I can't really say I follow the advances in technology all that much anymore. I checked my local internet shop and saw there were 5900 RPM drives out there now, and realized I didn't have a clue of what to actually buy. I'm used to the old, 5400, 7200, and 10000 RPM drives, and thought this was the diesel, petrol, electric norm of HDDs, but apparently that has changed. :)

The disk is needed for storage of videos, and games that I can't fit on my SSD, it's also full btw. but I can't afford to buy another one of those as well. I'm looking for at least 4TB, and a probably nothing too expensive. If anyone can point me in the direction of some good guides that can explain stuff like cache and other important specifics that are important to know about for a buy, I would be very happy. I don't have the patience to wikipedia every little bit of info about disks.

Also if you have any good disks you can reccomend for my usage, I will be pleased, but please say why you're reccomending it as well. :)
