Open to any suggestions on changing the parts around..

Will the raptor be worth the extra money, or should i just go with a SATA Seagate 7,200 rpm drive?

Should i invest in a better power supply or will the 420W be enough for it?

Thanks
 
I have the same stuff, the raptor is definetly worth the extra money but I have two in raid 0, if you're not on a tight budget I would suggest another Raptor since 74 GB is decent but I always like to get above at least 100GB.
