Everything you have selected looks fine.
If you want to go with dual video cards(SLI) then you will need a motherboard that supports it. I would suggest the ASUS A8N-SLI, shown here.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131524 If you get that board then you will be able to add another hard drive later, thing is you'll have to reconfigure or something like that(I've never done it, so don't know how) |

I'm not sure about Albatron video cards. The usual recommendations are ASUS or eVGA.
