Ignore the prices and the sources. I am able to buy all of these components for a total of $1565+tax (Canadian dollars) from a single source on boxing day. I currently own a GeForce gtx 650ti boost. Can I get opinions on this build? Do you guys see any glaring issues or inefficiencies? I don't want any bottlenecks. I would also like opinions on internal wireless adapters capable of handling 150 down/10 up connection. Do you think I should double up on the graphics card to go sli?
 
Solution
Looks like a solid build. You have 16 GB of ram, correct? Also, I would just grab a single powerful card instead of SLI 2 650ti. Also, consider getting bit more powerful PSU.

Am I being blind or isn't there a GPU? The i7 won't be able to handle everything especially gaming. If I were you I'd cut down on the price of some of the less important stuff and get a GTX 760 or even better a 680.

Apart from that it seems like a very solid build. But is 32GB's of memory really necessary? I know that some editing/ streaming software benefits from a lot of memory but 32GB's just seems a bit overkill. Just my opinion. Merry Christmas.
