No, please read the replies.

One of the most important performance upgrades is a HD with 16Mb of cache and a spin rate of at least 7200rpm. RAID 0 is pointless unless you have a server or are doing lots of video editing. RAID only cuts your MTBF (mean time between failure) in half.

Other replies here have good advice too, I suggest you read them.
Programming since 1995.

Shouldn't properly build DEVELOPER computer run continuously more than week without interruption? Translated GAMING rig doesn't come in best capability/price ratio.

BTW what for he needs high speed for HD? If he is worried about speed of compilation, he should use Java for prototyping, it has zero compilation time.

As for programs, I used GIMP. It's quite efficient.
