It would certainly be a nice pc. whats the need of 3 drives though? Im not sure on this, but it might be better to get 2 6600gt's where you have a sli mobo. ohyeah, im far to lazy to go price all that!

thanks for your input and i was thinking it would be faster to burn dvds this way and i understand about the being to lazy part two

well.. 1 fx6800 is a good choice. if you have the monney afterwards you can buy a second one much cheaper this is much like the system i want to buy when i have the monney

3 optical drives? reason? well one 6800GT has about the same performance as two 6600GT:s but it's cheaper and better when you want an upgrade, SLI is only use full when you have lots of money and want the best, then you buy two 7800GTX and if you can't afford a better card at the time it can be usefull whwn you whant an uprade and buy another card, and you don't need to put out so much money

at 17a, thats a pos PSU. consider getting a useful PSU (especially given the hardware your box will be packing). see PSU 101 for ideas

motherboard- ASUS a8n-sli deluxe

the MSI and DFI sli boards are, imo, superior

optical drive 2- lg dvd rom gdr-8163b black
optical drive 3- NEC nd-3500a dvd±r dl black

avoid lg drives, you can get a liteon dvdrom (arguably best for its class if not best period) for same/less. also, the NEC 3520 and 3540 are handsdown superior and use a different chipset than the 3500 (so you cant flash 3500 to 3520/3540).
