Opinions on my cart - £2000 video editing PC

Ok great thanks, I prefer the look of the sleeved cables anyway to the ribbon style ones in the Corsair. The only thing that's left bugging me is the blue gpu and the red ram :( but it's a closed case and my first build so I'll live with it. I'm also really sickened that a few components went back up considerably in price since I first selected them but I was too busy the last two weeks to order plus I wouldn't have been home to collect the packages.. agh..
 
The Vaper-X card looks better than you might think as the blue and white go well together.
FYI I didn't mind the GPU so much, in fact I like it a lot and I think I'd rather save the 80 quid getting the cheaper RAM rather than the cheaper 290x, thanks anyway lee32uk.

For video editing I'd get 3 or 4 HDDs (1TB) instead of one 3TB and put them into RAID-0. On the top of it just another one HDD for source/end/backup files.
I have 2x 3TB HDDs selected for Raid-0, I was going to get another pair in the not too distant future for Raid-10 or maybe more Raid-0, depending on how things are going and when I'm not so strapped for cash. I also have another HDD in an e-sata enclosure I used to use with the laptop which I'll probably stick in the new build as well. Plus a few external backup drives.

I'll have another look at the drive bays in the case and the cost of smaller HDDs though, thanks for the advice. Reckon I'm ok with the one SSD for now?
