New PC - Need Help

I'm about to build a new PC.

https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion...w+PC+%2D+Final

I've compiled this list. Does anyone have any suggestions, or see anything that is incompatible?

Should I get two 8800GTS's (512MB) or one 8800GTS (768MB)?

And did I miss anything? Because I need everything except a monitor.

EDIT::

Thinking of swapping:

Is this computer mainly for gaming or work?

I checked everything out and it looks good to go.

I have the same quad core and it is a great system.

Nice setup. :)

Also consider:

- UPS (battery backup and surge protection)
- Multiple Hard Drives (system partition should be small and physically separated from your storage drives)

I've got a surge protector, but I'm not worried about a battery back up right now. Thanks though! :)

If your power ever goes off and your computer doesn't properly shut down you can damage your hardware. Just a friendly recommendation. :)

True... >.>. I'll put that at the top of my list to get ASAP.

Well, guys over at Hard OCP have ripped this list to shreds. :p. Told me I was spending to much to run it on my 22" monitor. They have whittled it down to like 1.5k. I'll probably end up grabbing a UPS.

to tell you the truth, the quad cores are better for business/etc. where there will be alot of multi-tasking. i would stick with a duo core for gaming. (this is my opinion, and by no means is it an expert one)

i run a intel e6750 oc'd to 3.2ghz and it screams.

lol, i understand what you mean. But i can get the same (or darn close to it) performance from my dual core.

BUT if you dont like to upgrade every two years or so like i do, then the quad core will be your best bet. im not looking at the quads till they have the 1333mHz fsb.

again, my opinion. i just offer people something else to think about.
