So, I've decided to build a new computer. I chose all my parts, and I was wondering if you could just give me some advice on what to change, if any change is needed.

Thanks everyone who will post.
the biggest error i see is an sli motherboard and an ati graphics card. an intel chipset will perform better. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128345 if you plan on running crossfire you should get an x38/48 board instead because it will provide better performance with dual graphics cards. you might also want to get a bigger heat sink and fan. if you are going to overclock you cpu. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154001
Alright, thanks alot. How much do you think I could OC my CPU to? I'm hoping for a 3.0GHz stable, do you think I'll be able to pull it off? Also, will the fan you linked fit into the case?
yes the fan should fit fine inside your case. i would get the oem version of the cpu because from what i have heard they are the better overclocking chips. the retail versions have been getting really hid vid and not overclocking as well. i could probably get is anywhere between 3 and 3.4ghz stable without a problem.
Could you please post a link to what you just said? I'm really lost and didn't understand much of what you said. =/ thanks a bunch.
never mind, i just checked and newegg canada does not have it. oem(original equipment manufacturer) is cheaper and comes without a fan or a nice box or instructions.
