Hey guys at ComputerForum.com. This is my first time building a computer, and I tend to forget things. Very easily. So, I decided to ask you guys! Is this everything I need? (Excluding an Operating System, I'm going to get that. Also, I've excluded the keyboard, and mouse.)

I would not reccomend the 4850x2 I had first hand expierence with this card and I dont know if it was a considnece i got two bad cards but saphire support is God awful. They provided no support and the cards were duds. They booted and i installed all drivers and checked temps ect but I could not play the simplest of games. It would freeze and lock up or give like 3fps. Just a heads up. I went the route of snagging a gtx285 which is very comparable and it payed off big.

Go with a good single gpu, then add another one down the road as an upgrade(or just get two now;)):
