instead of the maxtor get a wd becasue around the 300gb size the are perp drives and they perform better than raptors and the x1600 instead of that get something a little better like a 7600gt since the x1600's arent a very good series and i would say go x800 but the cant run the spliter cell because it doesnt have pixel shader 3.0 or something like that.

Yeah ill have a look at the WD hard drives as for the Graphics card im not to bothered about a decent one because i dont really play that many games.

Ill be using the pc more for Video encoding and editing.
