That system looks really good and all the components will work together fine. Get 6 gb of ram instead of 12 gb. 12 is overkill and you won't notice any real improvements between that and 6 gb.
 
^ Agreed about the RAM. Maybe get a couple of 1TB drives and raid them? With the specs in the system I would think the hard drive would be the bottleneck.
 
Well he does have an SSD which is good. I suggest a 15,000 rpm SSD for your system which is the highest end HDD out there. It will prevent all bottlenecks and really speed up ur system.

Click to expand...

Are you talking about some kind of hybrid drive? Meaning it has say, 4GB SSD and a rotating portion as well? SSD dont have rotational speeds...
 
That is essentially what it is. It has an incredible seek time of 2.5 ms. The fasted HDD on the market although its about 500 dollars for a 150 gig hard drive.

Its a pretty ridiculous hard drive. Unless you have tons of money I don't think its worth it. I have a WD Velociraptor 300 gb hard drive with a 3.5 ms seek time and that cost 300 dollars and it is plenty fast.
