Hey guys, I'm coming up on a new PC build in a little under a week and I'll be ordering parts here soon. I'm doing bit of reading about HDDs right now and SSDs as they were a topic that I haven't really spent too much time exploring in the past with my limited knowledge and experience, I figure I would turn to the pros! So here is the situation, the computer is going to be used for moderate/heavy gaming and aside from that just regular use and browsing, not much data transfer or anything of that nature. My main question is whether or not these drives are going to be my best bang for my buck or if you guys have any other suggestions regarding it.
I'm going to be buying a 1-2TB HDD for the computer as well as a SSD around 120GB, now what I'm looking at now are these:
The interest in the below drive is because of the increased storage capacity for not much more money:

I think this drive speaks for itself but I'm not sure I'm going to need/use the full potential of it:

My main reservations with this SSD revolve around the lack of reviews and seemingly high percentage of bad ones although there are only 8 reviews written on the egg for the SSD:

Now, as far as experience with SSDs go, this is going to be my first SSD and I'm pretty familiar with what purpose they serve but that is right around my budget for an SSD at this time and a 120GB should be able to hold my OS and a couple of games depending but that would be the only use need out of the SSD.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions regarding my HD choices!
