~$1500 Build Preparing to Order

I will be dividing my order between Newegg and NCIX to take advantage of some stupid shipping prices.

NCIX:

Case: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=54712

*$30 off is nice and shipping is free on NCIX while Newegg oddly charges $50 for shipping on this case...

Newegg:

RAM: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428
MOBO: P8P67 Pro when it shows up on Newegg. Is there a big difference between the Pro and the M Pro? Should I wait or just get the -M model?

Total ~$1500

I am unsure about the PSU primarily. I know it is quite heavy on the Wattage but I'm planning on SLI in the near future. Would 750W be more appropriate or should I play it safe and stick with 850W?

Also, should I divide my order like this or just go and buy everything on NCIX since the entire order is Free Shipping (and the P8P67 is on back order whereas Newegg doesn't even have them on the page) or stick with Newegg and find a different Case. Or, look for a local store to get my case (I live in Montreal)?

Any and all help if greatly appreciated, the sooner the better because these Motherboards are flying off the shelves as soon as they appear.
 
Note: Will be using the computer for extensive gaming. I have a monitor already but I am considering buying a new mouse/keyboard if ppl can find ways to make my build cheaper.

The PRO has more features than M-PRO. Go for the PRO.
I assume you are overclocking and as you mentioned future SLI, so get the 850W PSU.
 
Lol, you posted the same RAM that I posted. I like the case though, was one of my other considerations.

What about the stores? Anyone have experience with NCIX and can compare to Newegg? The Free Ground Shipping on everything sounds great but I love the fact that Newegg ships things to me within a day or two.

I'm not sure I can wait for the P8P67 Pro to show up on Newegg. Should I just buckle down and buy the P8P67 Deluxe or the AsRock P67 Extreme6?

Total (after taxes/shipping) = $1406.65

The AsRock Mobo is just a stand in atm while I try to find either a local shop to get the P8P67 Pro or for Newegg to get it in. Is everything compatible? I'm very happy with the price so far, it leaves me another $100 for Keyboard/Mouse so I've been eyeing these:

*Just noticed my local Microbytes has P8P67 Pro's in stock but they are listed as being in stock from March 2nd. Seems a little early to me. Is there any way to know for sure whether I am buying a B3 Model from them or can they cover that up somehow? Also noticed they have the AsRock Mobo for $40 more than Newegg, I'm slowly getting more and more convinced to buy the AsRock Mobo.
