i7 is going to be expensive for a while, though! Looks like a good CPU and motherboard combo.

If you are not overclocking, maybe just get PC3-12800 (1600MHz)... You'll save money and will probably have the same performance.

What about a CPU cooler? Modulok has that motherboard (I think), and not everything fits in that canyon of heatsinks on it well. Don't use the stock Intel cooler, but also look around to see what fits in that space. I think he has a Thermalright Ultra 120 - great cooler, and it fits!

That case is crazy! I like it! optical drives on the side, though?

Skip that slot cooler, doubt you would need it with your setup!

That PSU is nice, but probably overkill (for a while). Even if you only rolled back to 1000W, you would be set for less money.

I also agree... 1x GTX 260, since you can always add another if you think you need it!
