You need to get a 1GB version of the GTX 460. I recommend this one:

You have chosen a card that can be easily SLI'd, and a PSU that will support two, but your board choice will not.
You have chosen a 6GB/S hard drive but the board does not support that.

Here is a board that will do it all, but not at the same time....

(You can't get a P55 board that will do both SLI and 6GB/S at the same time. Chipset limitation.)

That covers it.

I'd switch the ram to some g skill ripjaws for like $20 more. If $ isn't an issue, maybe consider adding an ssd as well. nice build though. have fun.

Thanks Twoboxer! I actually thought I was linking the less expensive ASRock board though:
