BP-Revo, ya I am a WD guy myself for the last few years as they are quieter and faster, but the latest drives from Seagate (who bought Maxtor, yes horrible, but they are still there own quality) are the fastest available, and are actually near silent too, but it also depends on the SATA controller on the motherboard. Also, the ATI media cards are better than NVIDIA ones at the moment, I am not a fanboy, I just get what is the best overall value as far as performance/price/overclocking ability goes. I am currently using a Radeon 5770 wicked little card, very little power usage and can crunch anything you throw at it.

Overall, the PC I built there is a sure fire way to get top notch performance for everything but gaming.
