Looks like your building some type of gaming rig there....only reason to have dual video cards and a Fatal1ty soundcard.....my suggestion since the two vid cards are about 400-500 each...why not move up to the new 8800GTX that just came out the thing is huge but sweet. It will run about $600 but it has 764mb video ram, and supports directX10...and they are SLI compatible. Why buy 2 cards that are gonna be obsolete rather quickly. I assume your gonna Raid the two drives together in some fashion to get a bit more speed from them? If i am right about gaming...then the LCD should have a quick refresh rate...nothing more than like 8ms max

Two changes I would make. Changed the motherboard to AM2 instead of socket 939, and go with the FX-62, which is for AM2. This would allow you to use DDR2 memory, which is faster. This would also make the computer much more upgradeable in the future.
That is of course if you are set on AMD, but the Intel Core 2 Duos are faster at the moment, so I would actually recommend going with them.
Secondly, scrap the 2 7900GTX and instead invest the money into one of the new GeForce 8 series cards, they will most likely outperform the two 7900's, and will support DirectX 10.
If you want further advice, feel free to email me and I will be glad to discuss different parts.

why the cd rom r/rw? u already got the DVD/CD R/RW but get the dual layer burner
why the creative sound card? you have onboard sound
why 2 gig of memory? you will never need or use that much memory 1 gig is enough for home user

Neither FX is a fail for gaming and the 6 center isn't any more advantageous suited for gaming then a 4 center The links to the video clips is largely a similar rattling card with a diverse cooler on them With that lower priced *** PSU you're literally asking for your gadget to "blowup"

a little overkill IMO but if you have the money, why not? and just to let you konw HyperTransport replaced the FSB despite what some websites still say. FSB = parallal data bus, HT= serial data bus. So it's a 2000mhz HyperTransport ;)

Looks fine to me. Just make sure you have plenty of RAM and a really good cooling system. Also the hard drive size was a good idea. God Bless.
