that will be a monster system when you put it together, personaly i would get a g5 not a g7 (personal preference) and would maybe get one of those 500gb samsung hds as they are as fast (somtimes faster than) the raptors and cost alot less per gb of space, you could enen run 2 (or more) in raid and get even more performance from them.

link to compare hdd

I want everything in that build except for the monitor and speakers lol, and they're still good, but they're similar spec to mine.
