sounds like a good build.
it should run games well, but if you want even better, try going for the 995 CPU

Ah I See, Thanks.
Apparently That CPU Is Easier To OverClock.

you are better off getting a 955 with C3 stepping and overclocking it. Will save you some and will reach as high as any other chip.

The 995 doesn't actually exist

A-Power = a big fat pile of crap. They are low quality and won't support crossfired 5770's.

As is said in most other threads that involve the discussion or mention of power supplies, always go for better brands.

Corsair, Antec, BFG, Seasonic, CoolerMaster, OCZ, Thermaltake, PC Power and Cooling. They are brands you want to be using

The hard drive is weak. A better one would be the Samsung F3 1TB.

The hard drive isn't weak, it is just that it is meant for storage, not gaming. You will see better read/write speeds with either a WD caviar blue or black, or, as was suggested, a Samsung F3

What brand are the video cards?
 
I would rather go with a single card like ATI HD 5870 for now rather than going for two 5770 and also the PSU is crappy and then a +1 for the CPU switch to AMD Phenom II x5 955.I would also add an HSF if going for a budget HSF Prolimatech Megahelms or Arctic Cooling Freezer pro 7 and for high end TRUE 120 or the Noctua NH-D14
 
do NOT get that power supply. its guaranteed to blow up in less than 6 months. check bomberboysk's signature, he has several links to some really good deals on power supplies
 
I can say that A-power are crap, i had one of those psu's and it couldn't handle my rig... kept shutting off.

Thermaltake's water cooling stuff is suicidal, it all dies after a few months, most likely leaking onto your parts. Stay away!
 
Dont go for the ATI HD 5770 CrossFire better go for a single card like ATI HD 5870 or the ATI HD 5850
