Hello! I'm finally about to buy new gaming computer but I still need more opinions about if this any good or am I just throwing my cash out of the window. All parts will be ordered from hardwareversand.de except the case. So here goes:

Case Antec Dark Fleet DF-85, full tower, 7 case fans, washable dust filters front & back
PSU Corsair HX1000W, modular
Motherboard ASUS P6TD Deluxe, 1366 socket
CPU Intel i7 930 @ stock 2.8GHz speed, overclocking is under consideration
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper N520. I could run it just fine with stock cooler at stock speeds, but keeping future overclocking in mind, this looks like a good thing to buy.
GPU Dual 460GTX cards, Point of View 1024MB GDDR5
HDDs 1x Corsair Force 120GB SSD, 2x Samsung SpinPoint F1 RAID 1TB, SATA II (HE103UJ) <- gonna run those 1TB HDDs in RAID 1
RAM 6GB Triple-Kit OCZ DDR3 PC3-1600MHz Platinum Low-Voltage
Blu-ray / DVD-drive Samsung SH-B083L
OS Windows 7 64-bit

All this including postage is going to cost me roughly 2070€.
Everyone who know that I'm going to buy SSD have been very skeptical and negative about it. Apparently it eats babies, forms giant black holes that will swallow earth and will end all life in universe after one year of use. Still, I want to try it. Post your thoughts about this build and if you have anything to add, please, do post .

I think that 2TB of storage is a whole lotta porn.

How are you aligning the RAID? 0 or 1? If you have an SSD with your most often used programs on it, you hardly need the RAID 0 speed boost. A RAID 1 as data protection might be good... or get a third drive and put them in RAID 5.

Otherwise, it looks like a good setup to me. I'm not familiar with the cooler, though.

Totally forgot to mention that. RAID 1 is in plans.

OMG and here i thought my computer build was badass lmao at myself, soo much for everyone telling me to go i5 when this brother here is using i7, good job bro

Ok regarding SSD you need to choose one that uses a good percentage of over-provisioning. CAllisto uses 13% over-provisioning than Indilinx's 7% but in the long run will have less risk of cell failure. So this means callisto's ssd has 60gb on it but in reality u can only use 55.8 Gb. Some brands over-provision up to 28% of the drive's capacity. So sometimes cheaper isn't better unless you know exactly what it is you are buying.

I'd wait on the SSD for at least a few months to go by but if you need the build now then best of luck to you man.

According to Corsair Force SSD review @ legitreviews, it over-provisions 28%.
Currently getting torn apart between Corsair Force SSD and OCZ Agility 2 SSD. :@

SSD boot drives are made of win and awesome. I put one in my machine and haven't regretted a second of it. As long as you have a HDD for media storage, you'll be just fine.

[Taistelumestari Viiksi]

Done. Ordered all parts I mentioned in the first post. Now it's just waiting time, waiting time...

Comp USA actually kinda sucks.

Micro Center Mall is where it's at.
