Might as well get the 7700K since it's a new system.

Not a huge fan of the hybrid hard drives, especially in a system that already has an SSD. The hybrids cache frequently used files onto their NAND portion, but a typical SSD/HDD system has the OS and frequent files already on the SSD, and less used or non-transfer-speed-sensitive files on the HDD. I might get a regular HDD (I like Hitachi drives) and shift the saving over to a larger SSD if possible.

Any reason getting 2 HDDs? Going to mirror them for redundancy?
