Dont get a single core 4000+, instead get a 3800+ X2 dual core instead, it'll give you a much better investment.

I really wouldnt go with two hard drives, and I would especially avoid RAID. It offers you no benefit honestly unless you have it for a backup. Instead get a cheap single drive, more reliable. RAID is a big no no that lots of people think is helpful to them, instead it just adds double the chance for data lost and next to zero performance benefit because you're never going to be hitting your hard drives enough for the benefit unless you're seriously doing video editing and then you'd be considering 10,000 RPM drives and 7200RPM.

Also, I'm sure you could get a DVD burner for only a little more. Which I highly recommend you doing.
