	I'd switch up your HDD's a bit: 1) SSD for os and you games to reduce load times, if your a "extreme gamer" and have a lot of games you might want to look at getting a 120-160gig 2) This is where you throw in the 1-2TB for all your storage of movies, music, documents etc Depending on the resolution your gaming at I would also thing about putting more money into an SLI config with your GPU Best of luck with the build !!

	You don't want to go tri sli on p67 platform, your third card's pci lane speed will suffer, if you want tri sli wait for the x78 platform or go with the old x58 platform. also you do not want tri sli on a 1000w psu.
