All looks good. Good reliable brands, all compatible. :)

I wonder if you would be happier with a smaller, but FASTER main hard drive that you would put your OS and programs on. Then use the 1TB to store all your media like photos, movies, and music. Here are the Velociraptors that spin at 10000 RPM instead of the one you picked spinning at 7200 RPM. Also, for the 1TB you picked, look at the combos that you can save with. I especially like the one that offers it with Vista 64bit, there is one for 32bit too. Here is the LINK

I have an i7 I built, the link to a video of it is in my signature. A link to my youtube channel that has a couple videos of it in action is in my signature too. It has a 640GB 7200RPM Western Digital. Thought that might help confirm, this is what you want. It will be a very nice and fast rig. Good job!

Let me know if you have any questions.
