That sure sounds like one heck of a system. What are you going to be doing with it? A system like that sound more like something a graphic designer or engineer would be using, then someone wanting to play games and basic computer tasks.
I have used that drive before and it's very nice. Very fast!
That's a amazing video card your going with. The price is a little higher then you could get it for on-line, but they are installing it, and everying. I've seen it on places like newegg for about 2400 bucks.
That CPU is also very nice, but if your going to that extreme how about the new Intel QX9850. It's getting some really good reviews. So far it's the fastest Intel out and It looks like the MOBO you chose would accept it.
As for building your own computer, It's not as bad as you might think and you can save a lot of money. If you have any computer skills you should have minimual troulbe building your dream system yourself.
I just finished building my system, and the only problems I've ran into is Vista 64 bit OS. Vista alone is trouble and being only 64bit is a whole new problem, but you want XP Pro SP2 which will give you little trouble.
What you got designed there is a VERY nice system. The warrenty is very nice, and you should be very happy with it.

Well the only thing about this system is that it will probably have to be liquid cooled....something I have never attempted....so i will probably let someone who knows what they are doing handle that.
I thought that the Intel QX9850 was only on paper? I did not know it was online or in stores yet.
