The caviar green isnt going to hurt your performance in game but it will hurt loading times, it is slower than most drives, get the caviar black or the samsung F3 1TB drive. Get the GTX275, its slightly slower than the GTX285 but alot less expensive and can be easily clocked as high as a GTX285.

whats the resolution on your monitor and where are you buying from?

Also be aware for that price you can get a top of the line AMD 955 with a 4890 which will perform extremely well also and is not at the end of its lifetime, you have no processor upgrade path with the build you chose.
