    It good, the way to check the performance is by the RPM that a HDD has, like the one that you show is at 7200 RPM. For pure performance you need to raptor 10 000 RPM hard drive. Like this one. 7200 RPM HDD are pretty much the stander right now and it will do the job.

    That should be fine, unless you really want performance get a raptor 10 like Agent said, but usually they don`t come with very much memory as it is pretty much dedicated to gaming and will cost a good few dollars, but the one you showed in the link should be fine, mine is 7200 and is great for gaming.
