Based on GKay09s input, I've swapped out the SLI GTX260s for 1 Radeon 5870, went with the Cooler Master sleeve, and dropped down to 8gb of ram. I'm still at a loss for a nice HTPC case. Would like something that has an LED display and remote, and can house the 5870 with decent ventilation. Poring over Newegg is hard work. Also, any recommendations on running a dedicated audio card over the onboard audio now that I've swapped to a single GPU?

I considered the i7 860 over the 920, and while it would run much cooler, I think I would like the future proofing of the board and CPU, maybe running Crossfire in the near future.

Also, if there is a recommendation for a comparably sized Samsung LCD around the $1300 USD mark that would be a better choice, please advise.

Thanks again GKay09, all input is welcome!
