What do you think of this PC build?

[boggo]

Hi All, going to build a PC and I just want to validate that the compontents i have selected will work together and there is no magic bullet i am missing:

What it will be for:

Running Virtual machines with Oracle software – for this i need 16GB minimum (jeez!)
Video and Photo editing (HD Video and RAW photos)

Am in Australia and going to order parts in next few days

Thinking this 16GB Ram: G.Skill F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL (4x4GB) DDR3 PC12800 16GB

This SSD (i'll have a few 2TB drives i will put in for data):
Crucial M4 SSD 256GB

Idea behind this bit bigger one is i can put a 100GB Virtual machine on it or photos i am working on before they get archived onto the mechanical drives

just really picked at pretty much random as a mid level card..

CPU Cooler? – would nt have a clue abotu what to get

I already have PSU and case/dvd/monitor etc

If anyone would be about to tell me if this will all work or if i should chnage something that would be great.

thanks

The graphics card is a decent gaming card and is a little more powerful than you need HD6570 or 6670 would be plenty. Depending on what programs you use nvidia cards might be better and of course Intel's quick sync. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/sandy-bridge-core-i7-2600k-core-i5-2500k,review-32090-5.html

For me actually this midrange graphics card looks as the weakest part in this build. You build a system with a top notch 300$ processor, 16 GB RAM, an SSD, Z68 board etc. and just a decent midrange graphics card? For what you are planning to use this system?

I am going to use the PC for software development on oracle software and also HD vieo editing/photo editing

I dont play games so would say I dont need too much power in that area...

thanks
