Ok, so I won a 3930k and a ASUS P9X79 in the recent WCG challenge. With that, I am also being given 16gb of Corsair Vengeance RAM, a Corsair TX850 and 3 Asus HD7770 cards. The CPU and MB are going to be taking the place of my 2600k and MSI board in my main system. The 2600k and it's board will be used in a 24/7 crunching rig. So I need a couple parts to complete to two builds. My current plan is the 3930k/MB/RAM combo will be matched with my XFX 750watt PSU, Lian Li case, GTX 780ti, and Crucial SSD, while the 2600k/MB/RAM will be matched with the TX850, current 7200.12 hard drive, and 3 HD7770 cards.
Case- I'm looking for a really nice and elegant looking mid-tower case. I like cases like the NZXT Source 210 Black, but I'm looking for something nicer looking than the 210 (I'd buy another 210 if the front panel was aluminum). I'm looking for a elegant looking aluminum case with very good air flow as it will contain a 2600k OC'ed to 4.5ghz crunching and 3 HD7770 cards folding.
Hard Drive- I believe it's about time to move my old 7200.12 hard drive out of the main system. So it will be going in the 2600k cruncher and I need a new hard drive to go with my SSD in the 3930k system. 1 terabyte and fast is what I'm looking for.
CPU heatsink- And I need a CPU heatsink. I want air-cooling. It can be for either CPU (I have no problem using my D14 on the 3930k or the 2600k). I'm hoping to be able to OC the 3930k to the 4.5ghz mark, and I plan to maintain my 2600k 4.5ghz OC after it's put as a cruncher.
Budget- Money is not really a problem, but I would like to keep it under or as close to $200 as possible while still accomplishing what I'm wanting.
Right now, this is what I'm looking at- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZdeO

How much faster is the hybrid drive than an equivalent standard spiny disk drive? Is it worth only getting 3 years warranty off of it in exchange?
