Need help with this build

Ok this is what I am planning on doing for my little brother. It is a gaming build but will be used for media also. We have a 1500 dollar budget on the tower.
Ok so this on newegg comes out to over 1500 but I am a bestbuy employee and I get some of these through bestbuy for cheap. Im not sure if this is a good build or not. I want to see what we can do with this and maybe drop price a little. For example is there a better ram to go with. We want to overclock but not a lot, just a little. We also will add a second graphics card at some point for crossfire. Let me know what you think I should do.

Ok well the power supply listed is a 750w one and the one I listed was an 850? Ill go with the platinum. What about the caviar black? I get it cheap at bestbuy? Then we will add a ssd at some point too.

They are in short supply so you have to watch carefully and jump on the first one you find. The 850 is more powerful, but it is also more powerful than you need, the TP-750 saves you quite a bit and wont hinder performance at all.

The 640GB caviar black uses the same 320GB platters as the 1TB model which is on these charts, as you can see the F3 performs better

If you can get a 640GB caviar black for less than the F3 at bestbuy then go for it, but dont get the 500GB model, it uses 250GB platters and will be significantly slower.

The gtx 295 is a powerfull big brute, but it isn't the best for long term expansion and SLIing. Go with the 5870.

With your cooler, you could overclock your CPU a lot.... I've seen a lot of reviews and they overclock the 920 to 3.2-3.4 with the stock cooler. I can Understad you want to take no risks, but any cooler that's better that the stock one is going to be enough. There's no need to over do something.
And there's something I always wondered, how can one know is a cooler is going to fit in a certain case?

And If you want a SSD how about this one:

It's cheap but got good reviews and is big enough for the OS and the big games.... pair it up with an ordinary 7200RPM one for your data and older games.
I know you wanted an SSD for the future only, but the V series makes SSD quite affordable. there's also a 40 GB version. It's not the fastest, but it's better than any 10000RPM drive. And it looks like the things you'd get for cheap at beastbuy... check if you can't have a go price

Here is a good PSU calculator:

Just know that the given Wattage is the one your system needs, not the value your PSU must have.

I did a generous estimation on the PSU calculator and it gave 666W with means a 830W (or 850) PSU... that's after Xfire, OC and capacitor aging, at 100% load.
I'd get a 850W PSU to be sure it can last for long and handle everything you want for now and the futur.
Oh, and get a modular one, it make things much easier to assemble!!

If its more than the F3 1TB i wouldnt

If its only 70 or so then its probably worth it, but i imagine that even with a discount best buy still comes out to be more than newegg.

Is this 5870 worth waiting for or should I crossfire two other graphics cards?
