I recommend dropping the sound card. You will not need it for gaming. On board sound is just fine now-a-days.

Change your ram to the OCZ Platinum 1600 memory. It has better timings.

I would go for the EVGA board but switch to the X58 LE model. It is a "stock" version of the classified. If you go with EVGA board, switch you GPU to the GTX275... IMO

ya the sound card is a big requirement for me the sound quality difference for me is huge mostly play FPS

EDIT my current PC already has a BFG 280GTX OC2
I also want to run the 4890s for better performance

The Artic is a very old CPU cooler, designed for the old 775 socket...
This Xig is better than that Artic cooler and is designed for use with i7 CPUs...

And what about that Dell display really...
