Any comments or suggestions?  I may change the hard drives to a Raid configuation, as I need lots of storage and high speed access for HD video editing.

I need a bigger HDD boot drive.  Most editors like at least 500GB for the numerous editing and graphic programs with lots of head room left.  I'll flip on the motherboard if anyone can convince me the EVGA is better than the ASUS.  Reviews of both indicate a lot of DOA boards out there from both makers, but since DS tests the system and backs it up for 3 years I guess I don't have to worry.  I do want a board that I can update to 24GB in the future.  I guess the 750 is enough to run the video card and all the hard drives?
