i would say replace the 250GB WD with the 320GB seagate drive for 95 bucks. im sure someone will mention that you dont really need a raptor, but that choice is yours. i would personally keep it.

also will you be doing any overclocking? if not, you can save money by going for an E6400.

lastly, are you fine with optical drives and other accessories (monitor)?

otherwise great build!
 
Thanks for quick reply and yes im happy with my optical drives monitor is so so (old crt) will upgrade soon.....thanks again
 
I don't see a video card listed but unless you are going high-end SLI or Crossfire you don't need anywhere near 600 watts; though the PCP&C Silencer is otherwise a good choice. Personally I would go with either the 380 or 430 watt Seasonic S12 or if want to stick with PCP&C one of the lower wattage Silencers.

Personally I would go with a different board, EVGA isn't exactly known for their motherboards. Since you seem to be going for a high-end build I'll reccomend the Asus P5B Deluxe as an alternative.
