Oh well in the $5xx category we have this config that would do 1920 x 1080 albeit with a tad less AA/AF and or lowering of settings^^ For your current resolution its overkill as is and no need for CF/SLI hehe

Can you explain the difference between the wd black and blue. Thanks.

WD Caviar Blue is a "cool & quiet" designed for low noise, low temperature and longevity but not performance. It is substantially slower than Caviar Black which is designed for faster data throughput. A cheaper performance option is the Samsung F3.

Yep Samsung F3 500 was my 1st choice - unfortunately it is out of stock on Egg :/
