Oh man, Just 18 days to go until I get my sweet, sweet setup! Check out my up-and-coming system:

- Zalman GS1000 Black
- Antec CP-850
- Asus ENGTX295
- Asus Rampage II GENE
- Intel Core i7 920
- OCZ Reaper OCZ3RPR1800LV6GK
- Western Digital Velociraptor WD3000HLFS
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS, 1.5TB
- Pioneer BDR-203BK
- Plextor PX-860SA

Put it together with a buddy of mine, as he is more of a 'put-it-together-guy' than me. If you have suggestions of how to make it better, please feel free to suggest whatever it is you wish to suggest. Please keep it within the price range the system is in now though (around 1300 euros in total).

May I suggest that you raid 2x 150gb raptors instead Wink

...damn.

The only parts I don't approve of would be the Seagate HDD (Seagate's Barracuda and DiamondMax line of HDDs were bricking en masse thanks to a firmware fuckup several months ago. I guess the issue's been fixed at this point) and the Antec PSU (4 weak +12v rails = fail. I'd rather go with something by Corsair, perhaps this for the power hungry i7 920 + GTX295. There's more to PSUs than wattage, believe me). Aside from that, great build.

EDIT: You need to change the PSU. The Antec PSU is of a proprietary form factor, CPX, and will most likely not be compatible with your case. You'll need one with a form factor of ATX. The one linked to above should be fine.

Thanks a million, will replace the PSU.

EDIT: Can't believe I was stupid enough to overlook the form factor...
