Well, I am not actually building it myself, Cyberpower is... but I specified the parts I wanted. I was going to try to put it together myself, but the same components on NewEgg were about $500 more, and with this I get a 3 year warranty. So here it goes

_PRICE: (+1130)
comes with free shipping, and I get a 5% discount
I got the SLI motherboard because at some point I want to throw in another video card and get a large, hi resolution screen, when I get the funds. I will also upgrade the power supply at that time, as this one only has 2x 6-pin connectors, and the GTX275 takes 2x 6-pin.
I added Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit , but I'm going to call tomorrow and change it to premium since that is what a lot of the other posts on this site suggest I should do. I am also going to change the case to the Apevia X-Jupiter, since it is much bigger and can hold additional video cards. Is this a good choice on a case?
Any opinions or suggestions for changes? I am calling tomorrow to make some last minute changes before they start building it, and want to get everything right
Thanks!
