Switch the G9 for something else, i've heard they're awkwed, personally i like my copperhead but as you're going high end how about a Lacheis and get a mouse mat to go with it too.

Get samller hard drives and a backup drive so you can RAID0 without worry.

You'll also need an optical druive, how about a blu-ray to make good use of theat 28" monitor?

You could save some money, get a smaller monitor or just one set of Z5500s (why do you need 2?), and get some nice quite cooling, upgrade the fans to Noctua'sand get a thermalright cooler for your processor and you could look in to one for your graphics card. The sound of your pc fans will spoil the movie experiance that those speakers and monitor will give anyway.

nah ive played with the g9 for hours and its quite nice but a mate might be able to get me a lachesis for free as he is spnsored by razer :>. and im not gonna ruin my 370 dollar case with some **** drive hanging out of it lol. ima get 2 red led fans in the first 6 bays and a zalman fan controller in the 7th.

and funnily enough i already have one set of z5500s but im gonna get another for the lols and im hoping to get a samsung 305t 30 incher :> crysis @ 2560 yes plz

the 4870 is almost as good and in some games actually better than the 280, it depends on drivers and developers of the games, as elann2008 said there is a thread saying why sli is inefficient, cool but not that great. and i didnt mean 2 seperate 4870's crossfired the 4870x2 is a single card, but crossfire is the same as SLI in the way it isnt that great.

for the PSU im getting a silverstone 850w for my rig to be safe but you would be fine with a 750w, just look up reviews for the best 750?
