The only other option on the 650 Ti boost is EVGA Superclocked. The HD is Western Digital. the DVD / PSU doesnt say (is there a good psu you would recommend?) and the RAM is Corsair
 
Get 2x4gb of RAM. 16gb of ram is overkill.
Make sure the PSU is a good quality one. Seeing as you just chose the 800w option, there's a high chance that it's just going to be a low-quality psu. Pay the extra $40 for the Corsair TX750 V2. It's worth it.
Why are you doing SLI 650 ti boost when you can just go with one, stronger card. Seeing as Cyberpower charges an extra $200 for the 2nd 650 ti boost, you can use the $200 on upgrading the first gpu to a GTX 770 (costs $203).

Agreed on the psu. I may be wrong but i was reading as far as running 2 of the ti boosts its better than grabbing 1 card. This may be misleading or wrong info as I do not know that much about building pcs. Is that incorrect?
