i will say if modular is important then i'd get the ocz mostream. but thankfully modular really isn't a big deal to me. the few extra dongles, might be 2, fit behind my mobo tray. a lot of the new rigs, especially sli, won't have extra dongles everywhere as the vga's are supposed to have their own dedicated line. throw in the sata taking place of one of the 4pin molex dongles and there isn't a whole lot extra.

just imo.

Do you need a DVD burner and a CD burner?
DVD-RW burners handle burning of both CDs and DVDs perfectly

Other than that all looks fine to me
 
i'm not trying to mess with you, but that case has a removable mobo tray which makes wire management a breeze. if i were you, spend the xtra ~$20 and get the powerstream, they're a better psu.

According to first reply MADMAX23 the answer is no

You'd need to buy a 90mm case fan (which should be cheap) with that heatsink
Ah if you like case modding you can get a coloured fan just for the visual

He already have
 
i just caught a mistake and no one else did! i accidently chose an AGP gfx card instead of a pci-e! yikes, only problem is the pci-e cards dont have the blue moniter connector, only the digital or whatever, is there an adapter?
 
No actually it's silver-and-black hmm

you might also go for ViewSonic VX910 or even ViewSonic VX924 which has 4ms response time
 
yeah 2 of my friends just obught the hyundai one and its pretty sweet, that ViewSonic VX924 is pretty good except the 550:1 color im not a fan
 
Pretty much set.
Another question. Why are you getting SLI board when you are getting ATI X850XT?
Could have just gone with nForce4 ultra version
