Beautiful build 
The only thing I would switch out on that build is the HD to a WD 640 Black for the fact it's fast fast fast...not to mention it's reliable. Otherwise you have it down. Anyways here's some cost savers not to mention the new D0 stepping i7 920. And if you do a google search on "ewiz coupons" you can knock off some more $ off that mother board. Also check "zipzoomfly" for prices on their gtx 275's. Sometimes they have newegg beat on the price not to mention they have free ground shipping on just about everything on that site. But ya, that is a nice build you have going.
