For the HDD I'd go with the 1tb version or if you don't need the space the 640gb version - both are faster than the 750 IIRC (platter density) unless they've updated the 750 to be only two platters since I last looked.

I don't know about the rest of the stuff, I've gone Intel and haven't looked back.

the 640GB version is only 5 dollars cheaper so i thought it wouldnt be worth it..
