For my external enclosure

Very nice: Here would be my suggestions.
Save up a little more and replace the Athlon X2 with this
Athlon FX-55.
Replace the two 7900GTX's with two of these GeForce 7950GX2's. You can't go wrong with Quad SLi, although I don't know how comfortable you would be with having the same amount of dedicated video memory as system memory
.
It would cost about $200 more, but I think it would be worth it. You would also probably have to change your motherboard to make sure it can handle Quad SLi (few currently can) and you would probably want to check nVidia's site to see if they rank your PSU as Quad-SLi ready. But by the time you save up, DIY Quad SLi will probably be pretty common.
Sweet rig either way though. Before I go off to college I'm probably going to save up and build a monster like that too.
P.S. *drool*

I am making it a point not to go above 2 video cards, because I think its a waste... plus I want a dual core CPU without having to by the FX-60 or FX-62.

actually Hushed_Casket, Nvidia said it wasnt releasing quad SLI as a DIY project yet, so quad SLI is only available in pre-made computers.
and have u guys heard aobut quad-core mobo's yet? i read an article about them....they're planning to make mobos with two sockets, so 2 dual core processors makes quad core
....and thats a nice computer jks

lol @ "That crazy Microsoft one. With all the crazy buttons." and all your pc specs.
and now that quad sli is DIY supported by nVidia, i'd say go for it, since you have the cash. bastard.

well, my ram isnt as good as it says. i think one of them is bad. because when i use 3ds a lot and some other stuff that uses a lot of ram my comp randomly restarts.

Driver or wrong configurations.
My friends comp has 256MB Ram registred but only has 1 128MB Dim.
Sometimes it overloads and crashes.
