After lots of help on here, I think I got my final build, but just want some people to look it over and give me advice before I finalize.
Processor: core i7 920

Mobo: Asus 96T deluxe X58

Memory: Corsair dominator 6GB 3X2 ddr3 1600

CPU: Corsair 750 W crossfire ready

GPU: GTX 260 core 216 superclocked

HD: Western digital Caviar black 1 TB (Should I go velociraptor?)

Case: NZXT Apollo ( will this do? )

Also if someone could recommend me a great fan from new egg that'd be great. I'm not sure I can find one myself.
Also I've never actually built a computer before... could I do it myself? OR am I probably going to ruin my new computer and should just let a pro handle it for a couple hundred dollars?
Also the final price is $1580 including Vista. I don't want to go too high, but if there are necessary improvements then I have no choice.
