| The Case, HD and Monitor link are the same and the Mainboard and CPU heatsink link are the same and the link to RAM takes me to a keyboard. Why do you need 2 dvd burners? |

| Looks fine but since your only using one 22" monitor I don't see the need for having 2 graphics cards so I would change the G-card and get the 4870x2 which isn't that far away or just get the GTX 280, if you did that you could then swap out the mainboard for one with a single PCIe slot and use the money saved to get something else. |

get a modular PSU, so much cleaner.
Also, Ultra 120 Extreme for CPU heatsink, and don't forget a fan.
Looks solid enough. |

If you take one burner and you want to copy a dvd you need to rip it to your HD first and then burn it. with 2 burners it'll be much faster

your new name isn't correct, fyi
it should be 'a hero', unless you were purposely trying to do it wrong. |

For that case I've just notice that there is a Nvidia version of that too.
 
For SLI wannabes |

Yes, buy nVidia's monolithic overpriced GPU's. Sure they perform lower at all price points, render a lower quality image, have an inferior multi-GPU implementation, and require inferior chipsets to do so, but that's never stopped anyone right?
@OP
Your build looks decent as it is. If it were me, I'd drop the extra DVD burner, the aftermarket cooler, and switch the case to the Antec Three Hundred, and use the extra cash to buy a 4870x2. Either one will give good performance though.
@everyone saying the extra burner is needless, I've found myself wishing I had another optical drive many times. It's a small expense so it's not that big of a deal for the extra convenience. |
