    Looks good. I would consider moving up to a 2 terabyte drive, maybe, since they're out there and they're a good deal. But then, I like to have elbow room for a lot of installed stuff, and I tend to back up my machines to one another, so there's no such thing as a too-big drive for this lemur.

    I would also weigh carefully the Nvidia/ATI (or is it AMD now?) thing, but I think you've expressed elsewhere that this is a non-negotiable thing for you, so nevermind.

    The Cooler Master V6 is meant to be an absolute pain to mount and runs very loud for the actual amount of cooling it provides. Three alternatives you really should consider are:

    Thermaltake FRIO
    or
    Noctua NH-D14
    or
    Scythe Mugen-2 Revision B

    nice build mate, tri channel great stuff, if you wish to overclock your processor to around 3.60ghz no problem at all as long as your after market cooler is adequate.

    good luck
