Looking to build a computer that runs fast/smooth/cool and will last long at a decent price. This is what I have come up with so far...Hoping that somebody will check over everything for me and make sure I have not made any compatibility mistakes or anything else, maybe even offer advice on something that would be more efficient than what I list, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

CPU i7 920

ASUS P6X58D Premium LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W PS

Western Digital Caviar Blue WD6400A...B Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Xclio windtunnel Case

As for the GPU goes... I had a bit of a debate between two options. I understand that the mobo has tri-sli support, so i figured that I might as well use TWO of these: GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit

My other option is this for a GPU. ONE of these: GeForce GTX 280 Superclocked 1GB 512-bit


IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF SOMEBODY COULD GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND OFFER WHATEVER OPINION / ADVICE THEY HAVE. ALSO, I HAVE NOT PICKED OUT A CD/DVD DRIVE YET, ANYBODY HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT? THANKS.
