only things I would advise, cause its a great build, is maybe going with veloci raptor if you want to put your games on the faster drive.

other then that its good then, in a year or so you can add a second 280.

The Corsair PS is a great PS btw, you picked really well with that =P. It is more then enough for two GTX 280s OCed to a very high degree. In my case 2 EVGA 280 FTW edition cards overclocked from stock 602Mhz to 735mhz.

You have a really solid build, i dont really have anything bad to say about it.
