Anything wrong with this BF3 spec?

It's funny you mention the Xtreme music as I still have that card but I messed up the area where you screw it down due to a cheap case which wouldn't house the card properly. I'm using it now but would prefer to just get a new card, preferably the Titanium Fatal1ty as it's the cheapest shielded (decent) X-Fi card.
Sure the Creative drivers are crap, but they get the job done and I still love what I hear from them coupled with my basic Logitech 2.1 2300 speakers. I've had a Cambridge A5 amp with Eltax III mon's before and liked them just the same, so it's not really a question of wanting the best sound.
As for the 2 TB drive, I'll just be using it to store media files which won't be accessed often. The Seagate seems to have better writes than the WD, but I've always used WD and never had a problem so may just go that way. Thanks for the heads up.

Thinking of changing the build.
To afford the MSI GTX570 Twin III/SC, I will need to:
Swap Crucial 128GB m4 for the 64GB m4 model.
Swap the Corsair 500R case for the Corsair 400R Case
I also have the HX520W, not HX620W. Will this be enough power?

Cheers. I may change my mind though because every time I turn off my PC, the computer fans keep running and I have to manually turn off the PSU. =/
It's been like this for over a year now, so can't think why.
I'm sure there is no such feature, the PSU and all the fans and mobo lights continue to work until I eventually turn it off from the back of the PSU.
It's happened with the last two boards I've had, so it would be highly unlikely it was anything but the PSU.
I'll see if I'm still covered with RMA. I could possibly get a new PSU if mines out of stock. =D
Yup, I'm covered. Sent an RMA now. =)))
