New Computer - couple quick questions

heres what im planning on getting

Case: NZXT LEXA
MB: eVGA nForce680i
Video: eVGA GeForce 8800GTS
CPU: e6400
Display 22" Flat screen Wide 1800x1050

This is pretty much only for me to play games on... mostly World of Warcraft. maybe a little FPS.

So couple quick questions:
1) I can get the case with a 500w PS included or i can get a bear case and add a Thermaltake 700W PS for and additional $120. IMO the 500W PS is cutting it kinda close with the 8800GTS video card.

2) I have two 7200rpm drives that i can use for now till the newer drives with attached memory hit the market... or is it worth going ahead and speding ~$300.00 on a pair of WD raptor 10,000rpm drives to increase performance?

3) i can save close to $300 by getting a Radeon x1950xt (decent card) instead of the directX10 8800GTS... anyone who plays games with both is the difference worth it.. rember i need to push a 22" flatscreen at max resolution.
