Lets start with the mobo, the Asus P5E X38 with two full speed PCI-E 2.0 slots is the only way to go. Better Ram yes there is, Crucial's Ballistix DDR2 800 or 1066. Next the sound card, you could get the X-Fi ExtremeGamer Fatality Prp for 135.99 at NewEgg. If you want a badass PC case, you know the last one you'll even buy the Silverstone TJ09 289.99 NewEgg.
I love the case fans you selected, I'm buying three more come payday. Notice the two 120mm fan brackets in the top rear end of case, thats three 120mm S-Flex fans sucking air out the back of the case. Also notice the 120mm fan right in front of where your 8800GTX would be, yeah baby! The Silverstone TJ09 is one of two PC cases that NVidia certified for Tri SLI.
