Make sure you get a super fast HD for the operating system like the western digital raptor, I guess any brand high rpm disc works.
If you hit me up I will link you a couple of excellent computer boards where you can give a budget and they will give you examples of full system setups.

You are out of your league, so shut-up. The i7 chips require TRIPLE Channel RAM, that means you need three sticks of RAM of the same capacity. 4 is NOT evenly divisible by three. So, RAM for an i7 will come in 3GB, 6GB, or 12 GB amounts in order to utilize the memory bandwidth effectively.
The velociraptors give you the HD speed you need and the 2TB drives give you the primary storage you need.
