What games?

You don't need a 1000W PSU, a 520W or 620W will run any decent system without troubles.

Call them and get an Radeon HD3850 or 8800GS. They are the same price as the 8600GTS but they perform better.

I chose the 1000W b/c later on when I have more $$ I planned on getting another vid card for the dual SLI connection and another 2GB of ram.

two 8600 GTS won't ever use more than 200W.

Your config is almost $1800.
 
This one is about $100 cheaper than your config but with a better GPU and more HD space albeit at a slower rpm, and also in a much better case. The one thing that hangs in the balance is the motherboard, you could upgrade to the 680A1 and be at the same price range you're at now but with a better mobo for OC'ing.
