What do you think of this build im planning

looks pretty extreme to say the least.

I like that you stuck with the 920 instead of wasting money on another i7 model. I would suggest ditching the 2 300gb 10k mechanical drives for a couple of spinpoint f3s (500gb or 1TB models). They will perform close to on par with those VRaps and you'll save a ton of money going this route.

I would suggest going a cheaper route on the RAM as there are much better values out there. I don't mind your GPU and PSU choices (assuming you might run another 5970 in quad-crossfire(???) in the future).

I assume you're going with a Gen-2 SSD from Intel?

first off, can you buy from newegg, second what is ur budget...but now for the help...i would not get that ram, get 1 set of this:

it is better for oc'ing, and probs faster, and 12 gigs is absolutely not needed. next, get this combo:

probably cheaper, definitely better. a 128 gb ssd is somewhat pushing it for a os, so maybe get a 64 gb:

or if you really want a 128 gb, get this:

next, DO NOT GET 2 RAPTORS FOR STORAGE!!! they are meant for speed, not security...and a i tb f3 would be SUCH a better option:

way cheaper, way more secure, and catching up in speed. i cant argue too much with that corsair, but i would get this one instead:

i just think it is better, and about the same price. depending on the ssd, you just saved enough to buy a second 5970  

thanks for the reply, both those HD choices look quite good, also is there a RAM set that you would suggest?

Also, do you think that this set up would be a happy medium between gaming and visual effects before plunging fully into the visual efects side with the quadro fx cards, or is it pretty much one or the other?
