Heres my current shopping list (im splashing out since my sister is moving out!! woo xD)

CPU Intel q6600 G0 SLACR
Mobo DFI LP UT P35-T2R
RAM Corsair Twin X 4gb pc2 - 8500
GFX xfx 8800gts
PSU 550w corsair vx
HDD 74gb western digital raptor (considering raid0 with 2 raptors)

personally i'd choose OCZ's reaperX's over the corsair
and a GT instead of a GTS if you wanna save a tad more money, just clock the GT
rest looks good though
personally dont like the case either though

Indeed unless you can get a notice cheap raptor a single 750GB drive is similarly priced to a retail raptor and in most cases its faster.

reaperX, raid0 2 normal drives. Rest looks good mate... Not that long until the 9800gtx comes out for $300 so i'm not sure how that will impact gts prices, perhaps lower them...
