Decent. Except you want at least a Caviar Blue for the HDD or else it may be a little too slow for your liking. You might not also need 2TB lol, 1TB is fine.

As long as the HDD isn't a boot disk, the RMP shouldn't contribute to the speed of the PC. When I open programs or other files on my SSD and my HDD, which 5900rpm, I can't really tell the difference in speed between them. That HDD is really good if you think you need that much space.

msi g45 z77 mb onsale for 104.00 on new egg. it has two 6g ports not one on the lower end mb.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah the 2TB is essential. Correct me if I'm wrong but the WD Green at 5900rpm should be just as quick as the Seagate Barracuda 2TB at 7200rpm, which is my other available option in the price range.
This is just what i read so does anyone have any first hand experience to share?

Thanks but my budget is already maxed out. And, as stated originally, no new egg!
I don't think is wise to buy PC parts from overseas and last I checked newegg didn't ship here anyway.

you could save your self some money buy a cheap white case and spray paint it pepto bismal pink then toss 10-15 my little pony stickers on it...
