Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 160GB
RAM: G.Skill Ares 8Gb
Optical Drive: Sony Opteric 24X DVD Burner

Or massively reliable System

Mobo: Asus Z77 Sabertooth
CPU: i5-3570K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast 650W
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932

What is your opinion TH? The Preformence build is only about $80 more expensive at about $1390.

Thanks in advance,
