verdict on new stuff

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

Case Coolermaster Cosmos S

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)

500gb samsung spinpoint

KB Saitek eclipse II

so, what would anyone change/recomend over the current? All this is coming to a tasty £787inc VAT.

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...
