just wondering which HDD I should put in my new build.

the WD VELOCIRAPTOR 300GB 10000RPM 16MB cache SATA 2 HDD or the G.SKILL PHOENIX PRO 120GB SSD

ill be using this for mostly gaming and programs so i want something quick but able to hold all my software!

any suggestions (with reasons)???

look at my system specs for help if needed under *member config*

Velociraptor is nice, but a good SSD beats it by far.
Keep shopping for about a month until gthe Gen3 SSD's arrive with improved performance and lower cost per gb.

If you must buy now, get a sandforce based ssd or, perhaps Intel.
