all is good, apart from, personally, i would replace the 6700 with a 6600 and overclock it, and replace the thermaltake bigtyphoon with a scythe ninja/infinity or a zalman 9700

edit: welcome to the forums btw

Hardcore

All sounds good to me. Only thing I'd do is get two 250Gb seagates and run in RAID 0, but I know that many don't rate RAID 0. I for one, do!
