    I'd start by ditching the GB board and grabbing an x38, either DFI or Asus in that order. Also the dominator RAM isn't needed, get something cheaper like G.Skill or maybe Crucial. Don't buy the extreme CPU since you're going to OC (or why buy a swiftech kit) buy the Q9550 instead. You'll need a quality PSU -- try the PPC 860 model (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703013) for about the same price as that no-name PSU.

    Purchase dual 4870's or two 4870x2 and CF them.

    Finally DO NOT BUY the samsung SSD, instead if you must have SSD buy the OCZ Core SSD drives for a fraction of the price @ nearly same performance point.

    This is now almost twice the rig at same or lower price point.

    EDIT: nevermind, I see this is in progress and you've changed to better parts. Best of luck.
