Hi
You may want to consider an i5, it should give you better performance in gaming than the fx-8150 and a caviar black as your main drive, caviar green are more energy efficient and more appropriate for storage. If you are not planning in overclocking your CPU the triple copper heatpipe cpu is a good and cheaper alternative. You may also want to consider a stronger GPU rather than 2 lesser ones. The GTX 670 is better than a single HD 7870 and you can connect up to 4 monitors with one. The spec below has the option to add a 2nd GTX 670 in the future if needed. You may also want to consider homeplugs rather than a wireless card for a more reliable connection.
