I'd suggest picking up an SSD, you dont know what your missing.

You need to remember a HDD is a bottleneck as it can only read data so fast. Therefore you could have huge processing power, but the data is being held up by the slow reads on the HDD.

I know you said this is just a high end desktop, but if you install windows on an SSD and a few core applications like browsers itunes photoshop etc etc you will notice a huge speed increase. SSD's are getting quite cheap now so imo its good to invest in one.

(If your just going to install windows on it and a few core applications i'd go for a 50-60 gb drive no need for a large 200gb drive theyre just overkill, however the larger the size of the SSD generally the faster it will be, or closer to spec at least.)

Only issue is booting. Some board's are unable to boot from a PCI device.

Some of the revodrives are unreal in the speed they can attain. They are basically like 5+ SSD's setup in raid 0 which gives the huge read write speeds.
