Im building my 1st rig, aimed towards gaming, im about to order all the bits. My final question (ive posted a couple on these forums) is which HDD should i get? First i was going for 2 1tb Samsung F1s then i went for 2 1TB WD Caviar Black, then 2 1TB Seagate Barracuda. Im now toying with the idea of 1 150gb WD VelociRaptor and 1 1tb Seagate Barracuda. Are the Raptors worth the extra cash and less space? I see the Seagate are 7200rpm and the Raptors are 10000, is this much of a differance?

Thanks.

Ive decided just to go for the 2x seagate barracuda, if solid state or the raptors drop in price ill get one at a latter date.

thanks.
