Can't see half the stuff your listing there mate, its missing! :confused:

Are you purchasing from OcUK?

Better!

Looks a nice spec that, although from personal experience I had problems with IBM Deskstar and they eventually went bust with having so many problems with their HDD's and were bought out by Hitachi I think. Hence the Hitachi 'Deskstar'. Don't know how they operate now but, I would be tempted to switch to either Samsung or Seagate myself - both very reliable. I think Seagate offer better warranty too which is confidence for you

Seconded. Definatley go for a Seagate or a Samsung- Hitatchi HDDs have been naff in my experience

Nice spec otherwise, although I would be tempted to change the PSU to the Corsair 620W and the DVD-RW to an NEC one :cool:

Nothing wrong with Hitachi hard drives, and they are very fast. Won quite a few speed tests...

Rest of the rig looks great. You'll love that 8800 GTS.
