I know i made numerous posts, but i think i got a good configuration now. My budget was 5500, and 24 inch monitor, 1900 by 1080. Will try to max out Crysis and GTA 4.

Well, I learned the hard way - you won't max out GTA IV with 2x5870 due to 1gb of usable VRAM :(.
Crysis will be maxed except AA can only go up to 2 at 60fps |

yes you can't max out gta 4 or crysis, gta 4 needs more vram and crysis will need a third 5870 if you want high aa.
you do realize the mobo you picked will not have any other pci lanes open nor can it do tri sli/cf right? you got no need for cooling the chipset, I would cool the gpu before I cooled chipset. you will have no use for a 4.0GHz oc which is why none of us recommended it to you, go with stage 1. use ESET Smart Security, it has a 30 day full free trial, try it first then buy a license after 30 days its much better then mcafee, don't get mcafee. get win7 pro get your monitor from newegg, you should payless or even find a better monitor, same with your Office 2007 Home and Student.
