nice choices, not sure how you will use the drives, just an odd mix. I am not sure on the PSU, should be ok, someone will spec it out for you.
I dont need much storage so I bought the cheapest 16mb cache drives. My plan is to have 2 in raid 0 and the third hard drive for separate data(downloads, pics, music, games, etc). It also gives me the option to have 3 different OS's on 3 different drives.
The power supply has gotten great reviews from almost anybody who has it or have used it. It has a total output of 50A, so the powersupply is probably the least thing Im worried about. I'm more worried about memory and motherboard compatibility. I just hope I can own this system for at least a year without having to RMA anything.
Very nice build there, can't really knock anything.
My only comment would be that the CPU heatsink is overpriced. It's only worth $25. So if you're willing to pay double what it's worth, consider getting a HSF that actually performs alot better. A few choices:
-Thermalright Ultra 120
-Thermaltake Big Typhoon
-Noctua NH-U12F

The Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is coming out, right? That looks promissing. The Typhoon is always a good choice but its Noctua and Gemini FTW.
Yeah, I have to contact Noctua and see if I can get an NH-U12F and some fans. I think I will be using Noctua NS-F12 fans for all HSFs. Either that or Silverstone 111cfm fans. I have a Delta 120mm x 72mm twin motor fan that puts out 54dB and 220cfm... That sh1t HURTS when you stick your finger in it.
