whats your budget , and what do you plan on using the computer for ? .

I recommend that you get your monitor, mouse , and keyboard from NewEgg, you will probably find it cheaper, and then use that extra money to get a better PC.

For a start you can check out the Special Deals:

If you have any questions,  feel free to ask.

is there a reason you are selecting AMD ? for about the same price you can get a better faster processor if you go with Intel. Also, again . i suggest you get your peripherals (ie. keyboard, monitor) somewhere else such as newegg.

nothing from amd config is gonna come close the i7 right now.

if I were you I would go with the i7 system and a single gpu and then upgrade/add another gpu later.

cause the i7 system will allow you to use the latest stuff for a good 3 to 4 years to come

just save up a 100 bucks and get a second gpu few month down the road and you will have a killer system.

you can upgrade to a single 4870x2 down the road or 2 x 260 gtx or just add another 4850
