That's a lot of RAIDs you've got there. Seems a decent build overall, I'd have said the PSU is overkill except for the huge amount of drives combined with two 8800GTs.

Which begs the question: why two 8800GTs when you could get a better single-card solution? SLIing mid-range cards is often a waste of cash.

From what i see in benchmarks, a single 8800GT is very close to a GTX or Ultra. At the same price though.. i can get 2!

I want to be able to game at 1920x1280...

Hopefully Crysis at 1920x1280!

I also will be putting in 8x750GB in the future.

Get one 8800GT today and then wait ~3 months for nVidia to release the next generation of high end cards (9800??). Buy EVGA and hope the new ones launch within the 90-day step up program period. Or consider one of the G92-based 8800GTS 512MB cards that have just been released.
