Regarding the comments thus far:
Thanks for all the feedback, some of you people make me wonder though, this is in a bad way.
First off, power supply might be a bit much but later on down the road I won't have to buy a new one.
Second, this is to Goldenr1, Im not debating Intel's chips over AMD's. Im a IT consultant and know my shit, thanks for your feedback though.
Third, directed to Smikis, serious did you look at the mobo? WTF, Nforce! Dude! It is a AMD 790FX chipset and is AMD/ATI Crossfire ready mobo. There is nothing Nforce about this fucking setup. People don't do drugs, this is what happens to your children once they a grown up.
4th and last, this ones for you Nddesh, I could do all sort's of raid/multiple HD setups, but im going for gaming performance not redundancy or data loss. Serious! All that raid 0 crap you see them guys doing on all the overclocker forums...well...simply put is just stupid. That degrades performance not boost it. Im not sure where they work, or if they work in IT but I would like to chat to their boss becuase that is the funniest bullshit I ever read.
Also what are you talking about a Nvidia Fan for? Once again parent's lay of the wacky tabacky.
Also, no! The 8800 GT would not be better for my setup, I went for a Spider compliant gaming system. Spider Compliant machines need to be: 790FX Chipset, ATI HD 3800 series video cards and last but least a Phenom processor.
I swear people don't fucking read.
