I'm not sure if you are thinking about getting either or both of those hdd. But I would get this one instead.
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

Not sure if this will put you a bit over budget, but for $10 more you could get twice the cache and just as much space.

Western Digital 640 GB 32mb Cache

Just got that one for my build. Actually, I think it was a Seagate.

EDIT: $5 more
 
Reuse the RAM, so that your not over budget and buy the G-Skill's another time..
 
Ok so I am fairly confident with all your help I have put together a nice system. Only one thing I am worried about...my CPU...I got the Q6600 when I have learned the E8400 is better...is it worth returning the q6600 and getting the e8400?
 
q6600 is better at multi tasking and a few games and programs that are multi threaded so its still good. The e8400 would be better for gameing now but the q6600 may end up being better later. If you can't return without a restocking fee then I wouldn't bother but if you can then maybe.
