Thank you for the reply, I understand the point about the drive, but id rather stick with the raptor for now

Plus ive orderd the system

I did post early but it was a LOOOOOoooong post and no one replied :*(

But I am happy with the choices, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to over clock this with the memory to about 3.2GHZ ?

I need 8GB I do some video and photo editing, and I always have a few apps running at a time, its cheap so why not?

Thanks again for the reply
