Agreed. That build looks really solid. Just missing the psu. I would suggest atleast a 550 for that build, and atleast 650 to 700 if you ever plan to x-fire (as well as future proof).
 
hey guys,

here is my build (google doc):
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd5vh8k_27cc6xrvdj&authkey=CPyw_8wF

what do you guys think? I will buy my OS separate. also, I know that the mobo is SLI and the videocard is xfire. I don't plan to use the system for heavy gaming. mostly high-end computation (digital signal processing, circuit auto-routing, ect). I may play some light games. I plan to overlock to 4ghz, but we'll see how stable it is.

any suggestions? I don't want to spend much more money than I am now, unless there is a really good reason to. also, I have a HDD for data, I just want the SSD because it's cool B)
