Maximize Expandability: E-ATX support allows more compatibility with high end components including large graphics cards

Easier accessibility & cable management: Cable routing is pre-drilled on the motherboard so users can hide cables behind the motherboard tray, allowing more a cleaning look and better airflow. Power, E-SATA, USB and Reset buttons are mounted at the top to give better accessibility.

Bottom mounted PSU: PSU mounting at the bottom allows for more security and separation of heat from the CPU

Server-like HDD space: Dual 120mm fans cool cages that hold up to 8 HDDs allowing for large capacity systems while maintaining cool temperatures.

No on the xion PSU, get the corsair 750TX, also what resolution are you playing at that 4870x2 is really strong and probably overkill.

Also in the future, dont post all the details about each part, had you just posted the lines you had in bold it would have been enough, i know the specs for the parts without needing to scroll through all of them listed.
 
XION generally doesnt have good PSUs, the 750TX from corsair is known to be good and provides the same amount of power at a higher efficiency rating for less. It also has good ripple suppression.

For 1280x1024 get a 4850, for 1920x1200 get a 4890, that 4870x2 is massive overkill for both screen sizes.

I agree about the PSU. Corsair or say OCZ would be a great buy here. No more than about 750watt is needed here. The HD 4870x2 is also a little much, a 4850 or an GTS 250 would do the job. Looks good otherwise.
