Stickbuilt, that would make a decent gamer rig. My one concern is the hard drive. I realize a WD 10K Raptor is probably out of reach budget-wise, but consider an extra $30 for this drive:

Two reasons: One, this one has 32mb of cache, not 16mb like the drive you picked. Also, the Black series by WD is tried and true and probably the speediest 7200rpm drives available, real workhorses. However, they are not designed for RAID0 if you choose to later do that with two drives. The WD RE3 series is designed for RAID, jsyk.

Have fun with the build!
