You may also consider RAID 0 with two smaller driver or may be RAID 1 if your data is important since config suggest by Harshil looks good and you have room to add another HDD.

Get GTX 760 instead of 660.( 20K). Latest generation card + 10% performance difference over 660ti version

 

[abhidev]

isn't the 3TB WD HDD low on performance??? Also more the storage - more the chances of HDD failure ??

OP has mentioned that he isn't much into gaming.

Yes it is. Moreover, green isn't reliable. That's why I suggested a Seagate Barracuda. OP can also look at WD Red.

I cant understand this "RAID". Please tell me what it is? What it does?
Now I'm buying this one

For data safety its best to spend a bit more and get Seagate SV series or WD AV-GP series over the Green.
