First Build - your critique please

[Bar90]

First, many thanks to all on this site who provided some much valuable information as I start my first build. If possible, I'd appreciate your critique of the build below - If the performace was justified, I'd be willing to pay a little more for individual components. I'll use it for image and video processing (medical digital images, photoshop, etc.), gaming (have been out of it for 5 years), office documents/word processing, basic sound production (podcasting, etc.).

Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom...

Since the motherboard has sata 6gb/s, you should use a hard drive that is the same. Like this.

and why have a 1TB and 640gb? Just get two 1tb drives.

A better option on the video card is to get 2 GTX460's in SLI. It's a much better value that a GTX480.

Another thing to mention is that you have an Intel motherboard but an AMD processor, and they won't work together. You could swap the CPU for something like an i7-860, or you could change the motherboard to one with an AM3 socket that will support your original processor.

Wow, totally missed that.
