New Machine for myself!

I'm currently trying to put together a system to Order on Monday and would really like some feedback. Want to make sure I didnt make any huge mistakes in my build or anything like that. Was also wondering if there is any LED colors that come with the Dreadnaught stock or will I need to have DS put in different LED Fans?

Thank you!

Budget:
My Budget is about $4000-$4400 tops with shipping

Expectations:
I want this machine to be able to blast through any games I put in it's way for the next 3-4 years.

Usage:
80% Gaming and about 20% Movies and Music, I want to be able to play BF3 and Skyrim at max settings, Also play some Civilizations 5 and League of Legends. my resolution at this time will be playing at 1900x1080 playing all games on Max settings. Looking forward to Diablo 3 also.

Special Needs:
No super special needs, just want it to kick ass. Already have a Moniter Keyboard and Mouse.

Thanks for the Reply DST4ME,
That makes sense about the GPU's didn't even think of that.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Looks like I kept win7 Ultimate on there when i was toying with the idea of doing SLI 570 2.5GB cards instead of the SLI 570's 1.2GB cards i went with, I saw quite a few times on here you say that with Win7 Home your system will only utilize 16GB of Ram including the GPU's, so I was figuring if I wanted to drop in more ram in the future and already having 8GB of Ram, then about 5 GB of ram on the GPU's being at 13 GB total was already close to the 16Gb threshold.

But I decided to go with the SLI 570's 1.2GB cards instead so Ill have to switch that back.

Thanks.

As you can see below, in the task manager, the performance tab shows 16GB of memory available, and we were able to use all of it with LinX (stress testing tool).

In addition, you will see that it shows the Windows version to be Windows 7 Home Premium.
