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.
