The GTX285 for Physx is a waste. It will not increase performance at all. Save that money, or give it to me or w/e lol.

Also, you BETTER watercool.

Those cards are sick and will outperform 295 in tri-sli.
Look at the cards I chose more carefully. They are custom 295s by Asus that are actually 285 SLI on a single board rather than 275 SLI... and they can be run in quad SLI!! And each GPU has 2gb framebuffer.

I don't think Plextor currently makes Blu-ray drives, let alone burners, but I will check.

Razer Mamba would be a better mouse choice.

You need to get a 10,000RPM drive solely to have just the OS on it. Makes boot-up lots faster. I suggest a WD velociraptor 300GB, then you can have 5 of the ones you suggested. Plus I don't believe the ASUS Mars is out yet, nor is 24GB RAM (although u didnt mention that)

SLI GTX295's aren't great; I'd go for tri-sli GTX285's. For the PSU, I'd go for an Enermax Revolution 85+ or an Antec Signature.

To be honest, a lot of that build looks like a colossal waste (HD800s...really?) and you could get a 90% equivelent PC for about half the price. Having a lot of money doesn't require you to waste it Now is the time to invest and build wealth for the good times.
