Need Some Help With Compatibility

Oh, you learn something new everyday . Missed that SSD.

Whats the difference between 5900 and 7200 if 5900 are capable of 7200 speeds?

"relatively" the same, the 7200 rpm drives will usually have lower average access/seek time and better minimum read/write speeds.

as long as you are comparing 2 modern drives, not like a 80GB 7200rpm drive to a 2TB 5900 rpm drive.

Yea comparing modern 1TB 7200 Seagate to a 2TB Seagate 5900 doing large file transfers they are practically the same speed. I was very hesitant at getting the slower speed but I'm glad I did.

Hey sorry about the late response, I changed my HDD to 2TB Seagate and put a aftermarket CPU Cooler on my list also. The only thing im worried about is if my Cooler will fit.

I would say get this one instead.
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
