I'll second QM's suggestion to just sticking with one WD internal HDD.

Without overclocking, the stock Heatsink and Fan should be more than adequate. Also, is there a reason why you are going to buy a six core? Games are more GPU dependent than they are CPU dependent. If you want to make a decent gaming machine, a strong dual-core or even quad-core should be fine. You should probably really look into spending more on a video card and less on a CPU.
