1. I wouldn't recommend a SLI board under any situation, and I definately wouldn't recommend an SLI board paired with an Intel CPU. AMD chips make a better gaming platform. The "add another card later" upgrade path of SLI really doesn't pan out in the real-world, so you might want to reconsider this option.

2. From what I've read on the subject, the 6xx P4's really don't perform any better than the corresponding 5xx versions. You might be able to save some cash by going with a comparable 5xx chip.

3. The Hitachi drive should be fine.

4. Pioneer DVD burner should also be fine, or also the NEC one, or most any name-brand really.

5. Given the video card you picked out, I would again question your choice of an Intel based system for what appears to be a primarily gaming setup (and if it's not a gaming setup, you in no way need such a powerful video card). You'll get more mileage with AMD for gaming.
