If I was spending 2200 on a gaming rig I would definitely put more money into the hard drive. The three terabytes would be a good idea for strictly storage but from my experience I have heard that if you want programs like photoshop to be faster you want to invest in an SSD or at least a 7200. While keeping the 3TB drive, a good 500 gig pair of 7200 RPM drives(2) would only cost you about 100 bucks to add on and then with your motherboard you can run RAID 0 configuration. That would be sorta fast I think!
