first off, how much is it?
second off, what's the budget?
third off, what's the use?
fourth off, why don't you just build it yourself?

other than that it looks pretty good.

The case and PSU could be better. The Cooler Master 534 is a much nicer case, and Corsair makes better power supplies for that price range.

If I were you I would also choose the P35-DS3L over the 650i SLI.
