looks decent I would go for the 850w corsair thought only a bit more for more future proofness and - the samsung harddrive + 2 640gb cavier black in raid 0

good point on the psu. I'm not sure about the two WDs in raid though, I'm already spending about $100 more than I'd like to. Maybe in about a year I'll raid 0 some SSDs and change the samsung to auxiliary storage. For the time being though, I'm fine with waiting more than 10 seconds for my computer to boot up

Yea, Corsair 850watt is only $20 more.

just ordered it. As a note: i wound up swapping out the samsung drive for the 1TB wd caviar black for $20 more. I'll post again when I have it running.
