Looking to build my first computer. For gaming and general use. I haven't gamed since half-life 2, whenever that was... Ready to be blown away by the latest gen stuff.

Here is my build list:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13945251

Any advice/comments are appreciated. Besides the general, "did I make any big f-ups and choose incompatible parts?", some additional questions/comments:
- Anywhere I can save money without drastic performance hits?
- I had no idea which motherboard to choose...
- Is the cooler I chose necessary? I might not do any overclocking, but then again maybe I will...
- I'm thinking down the line I miiight add another 6950. Will that work ok with everything I've got?
- The PS seems to be more than I need, but it fits the case, which I really like

Thanks all

Looks like an awesome build. I don't see any compatibility issues. Adding another 6950 at some point would be killer.

Nice job. :)
