    I'd of went with the solid state hard drive myself, but that build is pretty good, what graphics card?

    Also if you've got a BIG budget, how big are we talking? you could build a top spec alienware for £6k

    Do not go with seagate for your hard drive. Unreliable hardware.

    Western Digital is pretty good for hard drives, and make sure you get one with a 32mb cache (instead of 16mb).

    I'm still not seeing the GFX card.
    Go with OCZ Gold DDR3 Ram tbh, great, cheap, and efficient.
