Well im getting the value series first of all because it looks sick and its the cheapest... i put in level 3 cooling but it says that it is not recomend for high end vid cards...

You can't really spend the least amount of money for the best parts on the market.. -.-' Your budget would have to be around $2000 for a high performance gaming computer. $1000 will do if you just want to play games on low-med settings.

I recommend Stage 3 for any of their builds. I do not see where it says it is not recommended =\

Your HDDs must be identical for them to be put in RAID 0.

I do not recommend McAfee for protection. There are a lot of better software out there for cheaper or free. AVG, NOD32, Lavasoft Ad-ware, ....

The rest looks good.

skyR is right about the raid.

If skyR does not recommend McAfee, looks like we might have to make some changes in our options of protection software.
 
Now your configuration, your asking for a lot of stuff in such a small case. It's going to create a LOT of heat. I recommend at least going with a LITE series case, and if possible a PRO; that would be perfect.
 
Also, a 4GB setup of Corsair 800MHz ram isn't as good as a 2GB setup of Corsair Dominators at 1066MHz. Gaming systems don't need more than 2GB of system memory at the moment. Also it's less.
