Looks like an excellent build to me. Personal opinion says to not go with the Western Digital due to my own previous experiences with their reliability over time while, without bias I can say that the Samsung Blu-Ray drive is superior to the Pioneer, it's sturdier and generally better quality plus it comes with all the nifty PowerDVD software that you'll need to actually play Blu-Rays in your PC (it's normally about $70).

That's a nice PSU you chose too - I run a 1050W EVO LABS Modular (PSEVO-1050W-M) which is extremely nice to set up and is very good for providing excellent power flow while remaining totally silent (yes, it does what it says on the box for once, you cannot hear it running). They're cheap too and very high quality (their plain boxes and prices make them look like budget PSUs but they are a very very good alternative to more expensive branded ones like the Corsair).

My own irrational hatred of Windows (necessary evil for gaming sadly u.u) says you should at least grab the Ultimate edition too, even if it's just so you can turn off UAC.

That's my two-pence anyway, as requested.

WD is awesome, never had an issue with WD.

i agree, wrong socket. sandy bridge is the best out there, thou i am still a fan of AMD based on cost of the CPU and the board.

i would have passed 6 gigs by thou, i would have done 12gigs of ram.
