If you wish to see my Gaming Computer Build, first one ever, I will post the link here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1687191/build-good-gaming-computer.html#

My question is, if you couldn't already tell by the title, will I need two Internal Hard drives at this time?

I am trying to bring the price down under $1000, and if I remove one of my Internal Hard drives it will be around $980 dollars. If I am able to remove one of my hard drives, I will choose the: Western Digital WD Blue WD2500AAKX 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM

I currently have two Internal Hard drives chosen, but I'm not sure if I need both. If I only require one, should I keep my: Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

[I know this sounds stupid say 'should I?' even though it's clearly a better choice for it includes more Storage (1TB) but tell me if it is the better choice for a Gaming Computer]

The Two Internal Hard drives:

- Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

- Western Digital WD Blue WD2500AAKX 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM

Please inform me whether I need to keep both internal hard drives, and or if I can remove one to help bring down the cost.

Thank you very much,
David

Nevermind, I was told my my friend 'Clint,' he works with computers, that you do not require two Internal Hard Drives; he also did research that told me that the Seagate 1TB was the better choice, plus I already knew more memory.

to be honest,
I think with your budget you can get a 120 GB SSD for about $100 (From what I've seen recently) and a 500 GB HDD for about $50 - $60. An SSD would be perfect for a gaming computer because it will boot up insanely fast, and all your programs installed on it will be blazing fast.

Everything else is good. 1 TB is fine too, but you won't get the same performance as an SSD.
