For HDD, I've tried researching and googling for these new hybrid drives? Would you guys recommend any? Im having trouble digging up info on them. If not a regular HDD would do. Last is a PSU. Maybe the Antec Earthwatt 650 watts would be good enough?

Thanks again

Get the CML (low profile) ram instead of the CMZ.

The Earthwatts 650 is fine.

Not a fan of the hybrid drives. I'd get the regular 1 TB Western Digital Black unless you want a dedicated SSD for the OS and software, then you would still need a storage drive.

Don't forget an optical.

Okay thank you.

Is there anything I can read up on on these new drives? I would like to know why you don't recommend them. I just can't seem to find anything.

Price/performance ratio is lousy and reliability is suspect.
