I currently have a 1TB WD Caviar blue and i was just curious for upgrading storage down the line, do you guys think that it is a better idea to spend $50 on a 120/128gb SSD or get another 1TB HDD for more mass storage?

how are you going to upgrade by getting another 1TB HD if you already have one? The only way you could upgrade and increase the speed, boot time when starting your computer, loading games and more is by getting a SSD. But I recommend you to get more than 120 GB

No.
The SSD should be used for the OS and applications.
And a 120GB is getting to be too small. If you're going to invest in new storage and an SSD...get a 250GB SSD (or larger).

Buy the 120GB, and you'll be back in a very few months wondering how to free up some space on it.
