Don't get Samsung hard drives, instead get either Seagates or Western Digitals.

Samsungs are quieter, though not bad (At least better than Maxtors)

whilst you arent making a hi-fi system, therefore Samsung is as well recomemnded, Hitachi makes good drives as well, until you are makng a reah hifi system, then seagate/WD are recommended. else, everyting's fine

I have no experience with Samsung hard drives, that was the only thing that caught my eye with your pc. I don't like Hitachi, they seem to break after 2.5 years in my experience with them.
The other thing that caught my eye was your graphics card. If you're playing new games you'll really appreciate something more powerful, I'd recommend at least an x1600. the 1300 is the lower end card for this generation. It's respectable but the rest of your system is so powreful you'll really like having a better card. The 1600s aren't much more, check out some of those.

Vid card is weak..but ok if not gaming much

Get a Fotron 450w psu if available..or antec 500watt...
