5400 rpm would not be my choice when you are spending that much money on the rest

for all that i get

-2 year warranty , 12 months new swap

i like the fact they hook it up to a master hd with windows on it and leave it running all night to burn it in

Exactly, from what i've seen and heard(I'm not a pc guru or anything) but, HDD's are the bottleneck of the system.

Like I said I'm not a genius so I may be wrong.

Ditto...

The rest of it looks wonderful. However, unless you already ordered I'd look into a differant hard drive.
