i would suggest you change the hitachi deathstar *cough* deskstar to the samsung spinpoint which is cheaper, and just as fast.

also, go for the sony opitarc DVD RW

other than that, it all looks good. just make sure you have the mounting kit for the 1155 socket or the 1156 socket (they share the same mounting mechanism).

oh, do you think 30GB will be big enough for the SSD? it will fit windows on it, but you almost certainly wont get any of your common programs on it

Thanks, Ill do those changes - I thought I'd price a computer up tonight and order it tomorrow and I don't know why I chose the Hitachi!
I also might change the 30Gb for a 50Gb then maybe buy another in the future but at some point I need a new mouse/keyboard/speakers/screen when I next get paid!
