Hey folks. I would appreciate some constructive feedback on this potential build. I'll be using this new rig primarily for HD video editing and rendering, digital darkrooming, and gaming. Eventually I'd like to be running dual or tri-SLI. I will also be OCing.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

- I haven't decided on whether or not to get a new sound card as of yet. Also haven't decided whether or not to give my current 4.1 surround system (dropped one of the speakers, hehe) to a friend and purchase a new 5.1 system or to go with a killer set of headphones.
