I'd go for 7600GS instead of the x1600 pro. Roughly same price, equal if not better performance, and its passively cooled.

Think about bigger HDD I know that when I buy a new drives I think it´ll take long time to fill it up but after a month or so i have to start deleting things.

200-300GB is pretty much the sweet point for HDD storage/price. I'd stick with your HDD choice, because in a year's time it'll be 400-500GB drives that are the best bang for buck if you really find you need to push the terabyte limit :)
