Swap the tri-sli 250's for a GTX 460 and the PSU to a 600w and then yes, very good.

Its almost always better to go for 1 higher end card over 3 low end cards.

like Gorman said, get a GTX 460 instead of tri sli & a more powerful PSU :)

Its almost always better to go for 1 higher end card over 3 low end cards.

Yes, this is a much better idea. This gives you room to add more in future. 3 of the low ends and that's as far as you can go. Plus, the GTX 460 is an awesome card!

agreed with the comments above;

GPU - one or two GTX460s will out perform the 3x GTS250s. Plus, you get the potential for future upgrades in years to come :)

PSU
- minimum of 600W, if you order two GTX460s or plan on adding a second in the future then a 800W+ would be recommended.

Motherboard - nobody has mentioned this yet but it is very expensive for what you get. The P6X58D-E would be more than enough for the specification you are going for, plus it will save you a good chunk of cash :D

Very nice build you have there, glad you changed the above one - the forst quote would have been great for folding, but not for great gaming usage, I would seriously consider whether or not you need the Killer NIC netowrk card, unless if course you go to a lot of LAN parties, in which case go for it!
