it looks relatively good. I don't know much about the hitachi hard drives, but i prefer the seagate barracudas. And is the Antec PSU going to be one of quality with the case? You might want to consider buying a better quality PSU if otherwise.

The Hitachi drives are notorious CRAP!! lol. They call them "Deathstars" for a reason. Stay away from them. The Seagate recommendation is a good one.

I can't stand those Samsung optical drives. Never could. crapola. hehe. Try Pioneer, LG or Plextor.

FYI the Deskstar is also know as the "Deathstar"

Anyways, that PSU will hold crap, the CPU should be a Q6600... that's it.

he wants to game...the E6750 will perform better in games.
