Hey I'll be buying this is a couple of days so just wanted any opinions before I spend any money. I'll be getting everything except OS but cba to link some (dvd drive, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc).

AMD phenom II x4 955

XFX 5850

4GB DDR3

ASUS AM3 785G

Corsair 550W

Antec 200 + extra 120mm fan

500GB HDD

22" LED backlit LCD
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/194604

Its mostly for gaming and general use I think it seems ok.

I know the samsung spinpoint f3 seems to be the HDD of choice but I cant find it on ebuyer :( Also I was thinking of getting a second identical HDD later for RAID 0. Is it worth it?

Any opinions on my build are welcome.

Thanks

If your budget will allow I would add 2 more things to the list-(1) a ssd for the operating system(no need for raid 0) and (2) a aftermarket cpu cooler that uses a 120mm pwm cooling fan for quietness and superior cooling.
