Everything looks good, but I would go with a different power supply (not real fond of Thermaltake products, their quality never impressed me) and a Lite-On DVD burner instead of the Samsung.

You cannot SLI ATI cards, only nVidia cards.

newbuilder14,
That's right. That was an oversight on my part. I changed the type of vid card right before I posted the message. I'm thinking the crossfire will be enough video card for me for most games. |

If the motherboard is SLI, it cannot support Crossfire either - your best bet is to get a single nVidia card.
