What I'm building is:

CPU: i5 2500k
GPU: XFX 6870 Dual fan (which runs cooler and quieter)
RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
PSU: Antec HCG-750W
OS: Windows 7
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H

As for anything you're missing I don't see a CPU cooler ;p

I'm having an Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B

Got it, love it.

@Khuutra:

"RAID 0 is the performance side of the house. RAID 0 or "striping" uses two drives in conjunction with one other for speed. Data is divided when it is written to both drives so that the workload is balanced and thus more efficient. The data is broken up into chunks or stripes when it is alternatingly stored. There is no redundancy of data with RAID 0. You should be using two identical drives if you are setting up a RAID 0 but this is not required. Two different drives can be used but at a small cost. Keeping in mind that the workload is being balanced, the computer sets the drives up to be equal. If you have an 80 and a 120 gb drive, RAID 0 will have your machine treat them as two 80 gb drives, ignoring the extra 40 gb of space on drive two."

says google search.

Also, yes, I would get a saparate cooler. Given that it's a -k series CPU, I assume you plan to overclock it? I thought I saw a cooler in the build...
