Everything looks fine except the power supply. It doesn't have the dual 12V rails that a gaming rig needs. Switch to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103931

Edited, thanks FK.

Alaron, it appears you've linked back to the original power supply choice there!!

Nacho, since you're going for an SLI motherboard, it would make sense to purchase an SLI-Certified power supply now, in case you decide to add another video card in the future.

No need for Platinum RAM unless you plan on overclocking. Unless this is like that Corsair XMS RAM that is currently cheaper than value RAM after rebate...

EDIT: Yes, that looks to be the case. Looks like a good build.
