    Welcome NBR lurker. :)

    Congrats on the new system... those specs look nice.

    Although I would recommend to get a 320GB 5400rpm instead of the 200GB 7200rpm because they actually performance near the same.

    So you would get more storage, and still have great performance. :)

    Other than that, the system should scream.
