    Very nice, very nice indeed. This is exactly what i would buy if i had the cash (or time to play games). Really, it's a sick build. I would recommend that you purchase a heatsink and replace the stock one. With a build like this, you want good heat dissipation. Glad you chose the Caviar Black as opposed to the Green drives. Apparently they have a lot of issues.
    Do you plan on getting a case? Get a few 120mm fans for nice airflow.

    Otherwise, great setup.

    Edit: forgot to mention that if you do get a better heatsink, purchase some thermal paste as well.
