I'll be using it for backing up my Blu Ray collection (which presently grinds my PC to a halt and takes between 16-24hours a disc) and video editing/maker software.

Both of these eat memory and I'm currently unable to do a thing if I'm running them.

Let me know your thoughts please :)

Thanks

Excellent spec, just two things i'd point out:

Firstly, nice choice on the 64mb cached drive :)

Secondly, an Nvidia GPU would suit you much better, e.g. a GTS 450 or a GTX 460, as their CUDA cores make video editing and any software that is CUDA-enabled a breeze! ATI does not have CUDA cores.
