Well, I would change quite a few things, as I think you could pay a LOT cheaper. But if you can afford it, why not? Is your total of $2,643 high to you, or is it just right? If it's high, then I'll recommend some stuff. Otherwise, if price isn't a factor, there's not much I'd change, except the ATI for an Nvidia.

well, i want this hardware setup, and i decided to go with the ati aiw so i could use the aiw functionality. However, are there any recommendations where I could get any of this stuff cheaper online? The main thing is that I want a better price for hard drives online. However, I do want this setup unless there are some comparable changes i can make.

Wow expensive as hell, but I don't see you finding a place that sells the parts cheaper. The only thing you may want to consider is getting a named brand power supply unit for your case. Antec is the way to go.

Get CL 2 ram instead of 2.5...

Especially if your overclocking.
