    seems like an expensive build O_o

    only things I see that you might want to change is

    1 - the western digital hard drives you listed only have 16MB on cache, you may notice a slowdown when copying large amounts of "small" files or if your operating system is on the raid, the ramdom writes may bog the drive down.
    Might want to get two other drives with higher cache like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136320

    2 - you can get the amd Phenom II x6 1055T for cheaper and just unlock and overclock it to your hearts content (or whatever you can get out of it). if you do not want to overclock or are not comfortable doing it, then the processor you listed is good. But a intel i7 930 overclocked does better in games then a amd chip. So I would go amd if you plan on doing processor intensive task such as video/audio encoding, photoshop and other editing programs, etc.

    3 - with all that power comes a lot of heat, so cooling should be on your list as well. I would invest in a 3rd party aftermarket cooler that works with your processor and motherboard. do not forget the arctic silver 5 and maybe a few more case fans to cool the memory might be a good idea.

    4 - the computer case. the one you listed is neat and all, but it does not seem too functional what your potential hardware. I always love the cooler master cases, they are made to move a lot of air around. Look into the "cooler master haf 932" or the newer "cooler master haf x" and see if it is something you might like better. I have the cooler master cm690 mid-tower and it is great although I have outgrown it.
