Newegg build - how's it look? 1st build

Hey everyone,

I'm (making an attempt at) building my first system. I want something that's gonna last (and still be pretty solid) for about a year and a half or so. I play mostly RTS and RPGs (thinking about picking up WAR when it comes out), and I do a lot of video editing.

This is what I'm looking at:

Case: NZXT Apollo
PSU: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS 730W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V Modular LED Power Supply
Temp. Control: AeroWatch LCD Temp. Display
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit
MoBo: GIGABYTE GA-X48-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor
OS: Windows Vista 64-bit
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100243L Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5
Cooling: ZALMAN 9500A 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3320613AS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
$1450 on Newegg with DVD drive

I'm gonna throw another 4870 in CF after they come down in price a little bit. Does this look good to run video editing and games (currently SupCom, Sins, and The Witcher are what I'm most interested in running), with staying power for about a year and a half? I'm thinking at that point, the X58/Nehalem will be out and I'll have graduated, letting me put together a new system. Any suggestions for changes? Anything I'm forgetting (sorry, my first time building so a little unsure of myself)?

Thanks in advance

The Raidmax PSU only has 2 PCI-e power connectors. You'll want 4 connectors for a dual 4870 setup.
Raidmax RX-730SS vs Corsair 750TX vs PC Power & Cooling 750
Both the Corsair and PC P&C 750 have 4 connectors. And the Corsair is less expensive after rebate.

You can software to monitor your temps on your PC's display so a hardware display isnt needed.

ZALMAN 9500A is the AMD CPU cooler model. ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT is the Intel socket 775 model.
These days a Zalman 9500 would be called an "average cooler" but its price is pretty high. Planning on overclocking at all?

The rest of your list looks good.

change the RAM to this

and change the PSU to what the others said
