as to the 64g ssd yes you should be fine as long as you install your apps on the second drive I have a 124 ssd in my alienware laptop and I just recently had to move some old video and image files to my backup drive.
Otherwise the build looks good to me.
I'm not much of a PC builder anymore, I haven't built one in a few years.
But I'm thinking about a media server... I'd like to build a bare bones system to run Tversity...
I May post that up here as well.
I'm thinking that will be quite the machine when you are done.

With RAID, honestly I'm not sure Its been so long since I did this. I just want to run the 2 drives in parallel so if one craps I still have the other.
As for the SSD I literally want to only put the OS on there and will put all my data on the dual 1.5TB drives. I will be pulling my old 320 GB backup drive from my old PC and using it as an external SATA drive for backups as well.
I may actually gut down the rest of my old PC, put it in a smaller case and make a Liunx box out of it just to play around.
