A: Nice set up, but I would change a couple of things. My machine is almost identical based on the XFX NF790i SLI Ultra mobo. Change CPU to the Q9450 Make 500GB hd the "C" drive for os, programs, games. Faster this way if you put all your other files ( pictures, movies, music, etc. ) on the 1TB drive. Lots of room. Keyboard & Mouse- Good choice. Memory- Good.......OCZ better. Monitor- Very good. ( I only have a 22" ) Mobo- If I had to do it over, I would go the 780i. ( Doesn't have PCIE 2.0 ). The 790i being the newest has too many issues. Asus is good. Speakers- Good. Vid-card- 9800GTX good, SLI it if you have the funds. DVD- Good. Case- Mine is the Antec 900 gaming case 5X120mm and 1X200mm fans. It can not be over heated. Lots of room to expand and very solid. PSU- For $200 you can't beat the Antac 1000 Quad rail. It has all the connects you nead for molti Vid cards in SLI. Plus it's semi modular so you can remove some un-needed cables. Good luck on your new build. For specs go to Newegg.com or Tigerdirect.com. Edit- If you really want to see it scream trough CRYSIS, add 4 more GBs of memory and Vista Ultimate 64bit os.
