I've been thinking about building a new PC for awhile now and since my laptop died the other day its time to purchase the parts. I would like to stay under $1,500 but if necessary this can be adjusted. I've been reading for a few weeks and have come up with a build. I just need some input on the parts; mostly as to whether they will be compatible with each other and if there all fine for a SLI build (only getting one graphics card atm but will expand).
Computer will mostly be used for gaming, nothing serious though, World of Warcraft and perhaps Age of Conan or something. (reason for duo, can always upgrade)
Anyways heres the build.

There it is. Hows the graphics card? Is the mother board excessive? (I do want to eventually do SLI with 2 vid cards) Do I need a sound card? Thanks for any input ahead of time. Looking to buy very soon. Ive had experience with changing out things in my computer but this is my first time doing a full build. Let me know!
