So I did all the research and everything and I'm 99% sure all the parts are compatable and this will be a really sweet computer for me. Can you guys tell me what you think?

So the over all price is $1,444.31, thats including shipping and handling. What do you guys think? I'm going for an all around good computer (gaming and other stuff)

Very good all around computer. Not sure if you REALLY need the SLI mobo though........but other than that, nice choices.

I would get a eVGA card just for justification though - the BFGs are known for their OCablity, not their stability.

The 680i has come a long way. Its latest bios is much better than the early semi-beta's. For o/c, no contests. For the best bang of the bucks, I'd go p965 or 650i. The rest of your picks are excellent.
