I would rather put my money on a solid state disk. There is one out now for "home use", pretty cheap, and they will be even cheaper and support more memory in the future. Plus the interfaces will be faster witch is now the bottleneck for that solid state drive. I for sure gonna get one later. Been waiting for years.

It looks like you're overpaying for all of your components.

Examples: Sonata II goes for $100+$16 on Newegg. Venice 3000+ goes for $146+$0 on Newegg.

Also, you should get a battery backup supply to protect you from downtime and your computer from brownouts and electrical problems. I have this one and I've never had a loss of power despite living in a house with extremely poor wiring. 1200VA is powers a PC, 2 LCDs and a cable modem.
