I would drop the physx card and go triple SLI, enjoy the extra performance straight away as the physx isn't that well supported atm.

Coulda swore I saw this before...
 
Ask for the TJ-10 case... looks SUPER clean with the front door painted.
Drop the physics card
Buy Crysis if you really want it and install it yourself
You really need blu ray?
 
Other than that... you are REALLY going to love it...

Wow, a $9000 PC !! Wish i can afford it Cry   Anyway, the rig looks great but i would drop the PhysX card ( it's never going get any support anyway -- thinks Voodoo), replace the light-scribe optical with a standard DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW optical drive -- unless you want to print black/grey on your disc and finally are you sure you want a Blu-Ray drive ??
 
Oh, by the way the 30" Gateway is one kick-ass monitor
