"Build 2.0"...

groan.

Edit: You already had a perfectly good thread... and you seem to have ignored my advice on RAM. *shrug* Your loss.
 
This is high end if you have the money spare what the heck why not all looks nice to me. I might recommend a Raptor 150g HDD and why not get 4g of memory if you plan on running Vista in the future. Not sure about the PSU good make but never used one hope it has enough power to drive that.
 
Raptor is too expensive for the money and the little performance difference you'll get. Getting a Seagate 7200.10 instead is the better choice, I'd say.
