That Corsair RAM is silly expensive, I'd go for the G.SKILL as suggested in a previous post.

i see no mention of budget so i will proceed with the recommendations i have

CORE i7 NAO!, lol

1. get the UD3P for crossfire - it OCs really well too
2. if you can get a 4870 1gb
3. the Dominator Ram you chose is pretty expensive by the looks of it - surely there is something cheaper

othjerwise you're pretty well off

EDIT: dont forget about ram
You really won't need 2 video cards, unless you are that hardcore about graphics. Minor upgrade for 200 dollars is up to you.
