Hey guys, I want to upgrade a few things in my computer and I need your help.
This is my current build: http://www.overclock.net/lists/display/view/id/4280435

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
RAM: Kingston HyperX blu 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
size: 8 GBytes
OS: MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Case: Cooler Master HAF912
Motherboard: ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3
Hard Drive: 360GB Seagate ATA Device (SATA) @ 5400 RPM
Monitor: Asus VE198/208 LED Monitor
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio
Graphics: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
Optical Drive: DVD-RW ATA Device
Power: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 700W
I want to upgrade to a better hard drive, and also a cooler for the CPU so I can overclock. I plan on buying the GTX 660 if it ever comes out, if it doesn't, then I'll probably get the GTX 670 later on this year. Well currently, I need a new hard drive really bad, I'm running out of space and this hard drive is so old and slow.
I am looking for a 1TB hard drive 7200 RPM. What's the best one out there that would work well with my build? I found this on newegg, but it seems that it has some bad reviews, also I am not sure if it is compatible with my build. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=22-136-533&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=3#scrollFullInfo
Also I want to start overclocking with my i5 2500k, this will be the first time I overclock, so I need a cooler or something. I was looking at the Cosair h100, h80, etc. Which is the best Cooler you guys think would go well with my build and my computer case. My price range below:
1TB Hard Drive & Cooler: $200 or below (I would like to stay in a $200 range). I would go a little above that $250 or so, only if it's really worth it.
BTW a nice hard drive, a cooler, and a GTX 660/670 would complete my build in the future right? What you guys think? Is there anything else I might need? BTW I'm a gamer, student, and casual PC user. I store A LOT of music and games on my PC, heavy gamer.
Thanks for reading.
