Ok so here I go i figured i'd see what everyone thinks about this build. This is my very first build ever and im looking to make a high end PC for gaming. I am coming from console gaming, haha im just tired of it!!

EVGA x58 SLI ATX 1600Mhz mobo
Intel i7-920 cpu
2x 896MB BFG GTX 275oc sli
Corsair 850w PSU
3x 2GB ddr3 1600Mhz Corsair Dominator DIMM
Thermaltake Spin-q cpu cooler
Antec 902 case w/ 2 extra 120mm fans
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
22X8X16X32 LG DVD+/-RW IDE LIGHTSCRIBE Optical Drive
Western Digital - Caviar GP 500GB Internal Hard Drive

Any criticism or suggestions would be helpful as this is my first build and im not completely sure about everything!!
Also i will have this Hooked up to a 52" Sony XBR 9

^ Well buying 2 GTX 275s right now is not a good idea...you should check out the HD 5850s...
And if the PC will mainly be used for gaming, then I would suggest the i5/ i7 860 instead of the 920...

same as ^ nvidia just havn't got ball these days you should look into 5850/5870 or 5970

you want a sata optical drive not ide

the spinq is crap to say the least look round here for better

As the others stated Nvidia is out of the question for the time being.

Dominators are a rip-off. G.Skill Trident/Ripjaws, Kingston Hyper-X... Hell Kingston Value 1033. Doesn't really matter according to most reviews. The only place you'd notice a difference is in an artificial environment (benchmark). I guess if your wallet is large enough to extend your e-peen then go for it.

Yeah... Thermaltake is well... trash. Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme (TRUE) is the way to go, you'll pay a premium for it but there's nothing out there that beats it and only one or 2 that compete at all.

Ditch the WD drive, pick up a Samsung Spinpoint F3.

And why, oh God why would you use a CE LCD as your monitor? From the sounds of it you want a gaming rig. The max resolution that Sony is going to support is 1920x1080 in a 16x9 format on a 52" screen. My god the pixels would be massive. There's no amount of AA that's going to give you a crisp clean display. I can only cry when I think about the shadow lag it'll have. Seriously consider this choice. I understand if you already own it, but otherwise you'd be much wiser to go with the ATI route and just pick up 3x 24-30" monitors to run in Eyefinity.
