i would change lots of things, all noted in the guide which is based completely on the best gaming bang for your buck. if you dont feel like reading it all, you can skip to the bottom that will list builds per budget
and to answer your GPU question, i would definitely take dual 480s over anything ATI can currently offer

eww you went with 2 5970's thats quad crossfire btw...might run into ALOT of issues going that route, even with 1 card my nabor has replaced his 5970 3 times since hes got it
 
and I hear the led fan upgrades run loud, might want to check on that. and I see you selected window modification, but im almost possitive your case allready comes with a side window with fan, so that option wouldnt work for your case choice.
 
one thing ive noticed about DS setup, unlike ibuypower and other sites it doesnt tell you when you run out slots, or something with your setup does fit etc etc. Would be nice to see that feature added to the site. I know im just an your average joe and ive had to go and research each and every peice before selecting what I wanted.
