    The Intel 520 series is IMO the best SSD on the market right now.

    Looks good Saviour! Make sure your PSU has the 8-pin power connector, that's not common. Good job.:)

    I would figure that most of the 7970's bugs will be fixed by driver updates + You should get a nice FPS increase also:)

    When I build a system from the ground up I usually start with the motherboard/cpu....that will determine what type and speed ram you can use:).....Potential pitfalls to look out for.....Incompatible ram, got burned on that once

    They can't ship to you, but this site has a great configurator, lots of fun to play with iBUYPOWER Gaming PC: Custom Gaming Computers and Laptops

    +1 on the socket situation but aside from that it looks awesome and it will look even better with three of these if the budget allows !
