Hi,

that's a nice computer. Because it is a very long list i haven't had a detailed look over all.

There is one thing i would like to ask you. It is because of your HDD configuration. I would suggest you take an SSD for your primary so your Windows and Games can be accelerated. A 2TB HDD would be my suggestion for data storage.

Edit:

A second thing, do you really want to build in two optical drives? The Blueray will do all you need i think. I have one myself and i only use it for watching a Blueray movie or installing Windows.

I can only agree.

It's really a crazy monster you are building :D For the case, i'd prefer Antec 1200, but that's just my opinion. I heard dust is no problem in Antec 1200, just so you know.

I watch the list of parts of your computer and the list is awesome.The PC you are written about that is like a supercomputer.It is a personal supercomputer.There is no problem with price because if we want the best than what is about money.Can we make a real PC on given configuration. All parts listed in your list are available on market or not.But really A nice PC.

Ok, after about an hour of researching and browsing the market I've found some better options for the monitors to maximize the eyefinity feature of my GPUs that I have chosen. It will be awesome.

Only thing I have really changed with the important hardware is the case and you can see what I have chosen below.

1 x Case ( Antec DF-85 Full Tower Gaming Case - Black )
