+1 to the above.

i have a 1tb mech drive and adding movies, games and music amongst certain programs i went down to 170gb :O, have had the computer several months mind and so had to resort to a 500gb secondary for those things and thats down to 35gb giving me 378gb currently on my primary and im in need of another 1tb lol, so your 500gb will zap up easy.
 
ok so ill scrap the 2nd ssd and get bigger mech drive everything else ok ? my thinking is ill be upgrading the monitor to a 27" 1440p 144z free sync and adding a 2nd 390
 
Gigabyte bundle is cheaper.

Ram speed doesn't make much difference. The 2400MHz kit is cheaper.

I would go with the Sapphire Nitro over the Asus Strix.

Corsair RMi is slightly cheaper than the Leadex. You get a nice 7 year warranty.

Just get 1 SSD and 1 large capacity HDD. You can store even more games that way.

I agree with you. I am doing the same thing. Now most of the high regulation games are large size. So, I think having a large capacity HDD would be the best option.
 
thanks lads I've took bits from both lots of advice and think ill be going for the following

i like the idea of going for the fury and staying within budget :D
 
Surely its faster running games off a SSD?

I have a 128gig for OS and software and 500gig for games.

I suppose if you want to save money get a mech HDD.
