That build certainly isn't the cheapest by any means, but its a damn good bang for your buck.

Awesome, although I'll still wait on Kiwi's build, just for the sake of options. ANd I don't think I would need too much space on the hardrive. My current PC is only around 230 gigs, I've used less than 100. I'm not a big memory user.
