let me know if you see something i can get for less, or any suggestions.
 
Looks good to me. I would get the 3700 San Deigo and a DFI Lanparty SLI-DR board, but what you have would work fine too.
 
For the most part that seems like a pretty sound setup but considering you are selecting an sli motherboard you may want to look at a 6800GT at least but preferably a 7800GT
 
I dont know much about OCing, but I have a friend who I could ask, so I might OC.
 
Yea that looks like a great card and my friend just got one and it is superb really so you should be very pleased with it I reckon.

I also agree that western digital is a good make for the hdd and evga has a good reputation in terms of your graphics card. It appears to be a quality system
 
You might look at a better psu tho- I am no expert on which PSU is best but $30 suggests to me that you may be skimping a bit on psu when PSU is important for the purposes of having a stable system. As I say having no experience of the PSU you suggest I can't really comment but a lot of people I see on these boards who want a decent PC setup like yours tend to spend like $60/$80 on psu

Someone else might be able to suggest a decent one lol
 
Yeah, I think that it is kinda cheap, and the only reason I choose it is beacuse it looks cool. I dont know much about PSU's either, so if any can give me a suggestion on a good one that would be great.
