Nice setup there. Can't really fault it has nice 2nd gen sli where both pci-express x16 slots run at true x16 mode (4gb/s) I just got one question for you. tell me you gonna be using that onboard raid controller and have a raid 0 it is a must have on your setup.

One thing i would change if your going to be doing some extreme overclocking is the heatsink. if you got enough cash change it for the thermalright ultra 120 copper this is the next best thing to water cooling. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Copper Cooler - Bjorn3D.com
