NICE! Going for the 2xSLI? I wish I got the Q8300, but I got its underling. 8200 which sucks ass compared to the multiplier. What kind of ram are you planning to get? Corsair? Crucial? OCZ?

Well I'm running with:
ANTEC 300 (NZXT Tempet for better airflow, and its much more slient, so I can leave pc on.
Noctua U12P + 2 fans
Q8200 @ 2.80 GHz
9800 GTX+ (planning to go for 260 Core 216)
1x WD Green 640
1x Seagate Replacement 500
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P mobo.

Only things i think about it is that it might be better to get a more powerful single video card (5750 if you can find one) and it might be better to get a single 5.1 surround sound kit than the 2 2.1 sets.

I take it you already have a gaming mouse and keyboard.

Might also want to look at getting a better HDD, the green editions are the slowest WD makes, if you can find one at a decent price I would get a black or at least a blue, the greens are mostly for media storage.

Also might want to search slickdeals for a better price for RAM, idk if you have a preference for using 4 1GB sticks over 2 2GB sticks though.

He is right, but aren't 5750's weaker than the 295's?
For HDD- Green is a bad choice. Its okay, but I see better performance in the black series. If your a money bag, then the raptors are yours.

Slickdeals has decent sales, but ram has jumped a lot from the current months. When I purchased my build (February 2009) total cost was $835. Ram alone was only $54, so I got lucky. Probably its just the corsair?

Well if he wanted to pay for a 295, he could get the 5870 for less or even better the 5970 for a bit more.

2 GTS 250 1gig's are good enough for me. and i will NEVER go ati.
