Looks great, but a few changes need to be made. The processor is an OEM, get a retail one for the warranty and cooling device. Also get a Seagate 7200.10 hard drive and a Liteon optical drive. Go with an OEM copy of Windows XP for $100 cheaper.
Have you considered a Core 2 Duo system or are you an AMD fan? I can't say much about that PSU but it looks alright to me. There are better brands, though.

FDD= floppy disc drive
As for a second optical drive, it helps if you do alot of disk to disk burning. May want to change to this DVD burner/comes with burning software and cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106015

Core 2 Duos are faster than AMD's right now.

Seen asthough you are a gamer go with 2 gigs of ram, it will make so much difference especialy on games that involve high textures detail etc, 2 gigs runs it smooth and 1 gig wont.

If you stick with AMD, definitely get the X2 4800+, the dual core will make a difference.

Id suggest a c2d build cause i heard you can OC em like a boss... plus you can get one less expensive than the 4800... the e6300 for like 180 so thats a good choice.

That BFG is an OEM topower unit. Not exactly low quality, its parts will hold tough. But they really do a poor job in design. Rail regulation is all over the place.
If you do plan on sli with those video cards I would suggest something like this: Corsair 520W OCZ GXS 600W
