Ok, is really good...but change the mobo for an ASUS Crosshair III Formula AM3....the vdeo card, maybe is less expensive buy a GTX295 or GTX260 Ligthing Black Edition that buy 2 4870, bot GPU has 1792MB.....The case, IMO isn't too big, maybe buy an Antec Twelve Hundred full tower, is really good and has good space and ventilation or a Tthermaltake XASER VI full tower also is really good.
