Re: Build review please

Personally, I would purchase less expensive memory unless you're a synthetic benchmark buff. Dominator memory is only used by people looking to pad synthetic benchmarks. (or did you really fall for that gimmick?)

Raid can be a pain to setup and drives are so fast these days (especially SSD) it's hard to make the argument for raid other than 0 or 1 on a home system (it's still cool admittedly. . . but moot)

If anything, I would consider raid 1 for simple mirroring incase the drive died or raid 0 striping for read / write performance, although it's not going to be as huge of a gain as you might expect.

Other than that, I'd put the money savings at the best possible video card.
