It's the same price without the ssd and with the ssd it is way more than I can afford. The HIS is way more expensive here(The Netherlands) so I think I'll stick with the xfx wich is only 190,-.

Should I still get the Western Digital WD10EALX with the asrock extreme 3 or the WD WD5000AAKX with the asrock extreme 4?

Extreme 4 offer Crossfire / SLI support and two front USB III. If you need those features go for it!
