So, I'm getting a new Gaming Rig soon and I wanted to know whether or not you think this will be good for a high-end gaming pc, keep in mind I don't have a hugh budget.

Now, I've thought it over and I've decided to scrap the 150GB WD Raptor® X Clear Cover SATA 16MB CACHE (10000rpm) and go for two 74GB WD Raptor® SATA 16MB CACHE (10000rpm) and have RAID 0. I'll use one for all my gaming, music etc. And the other will have Vista, or maybe XP on.
Thoughts and suggestions? I might liquid cool my PC when I get the extra money, any suggestions on what I should cool? E.G. CPU, etc? And What sort of cooling system I should go for aswell.
