Main parts of my new rig that Im about ready to buy are:
Coolermaster Storm trooper case
Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe Mobo
Gtx 670 Vid card
Corsair 850HX psu
I7 3770k cpu
Lite on dvd
16 gb Muskin ram
Win 7 64 bit
Corsair H100 cpu cooler ( only cause I hate having those giant finned air coolers in the
middle of everything )

Storage Bits Im buying are :

Samsung 830 256 gb ssd for os and a few important progs

Samsung 830 64 gb ssd for an Acronis image of the os drive when its new and
correct and then kept in the drawer.

WD 1 TB Velociraptor for my 600 gb and growing pile of steam games

Plus these existing drives

Three more WD 7200 rpm hdds ( 2 older 70 gb hdds and 1 750 gb caviar black)

I think Ill also keep an incremental Acronis backup image on the 750

Is this setup ok ? or am I doing somethig wrong ?
Also, with 16 gb of ram should I make the smallest possible paging file ?

The most important thing for me is that when a catastrophy happens, which always
does at some point in every rig ive owned, is that I can restore the boot drive to its
original birthday condition with speed and ease.
