Where are these parts from? I can't for the life of me figure out why you would sepend $450 on a mother board, and SLI 2 260's. Some links would be helpful as well.

you dont need a 1200watt PSU, nor should you spend so much on the dominators, get the OCZ Platinum 6GB kit with CL7, it is cheaper and will perform better than the dominators. Please see the sticky about asking for new build advice at the top of the forum, we can do alot better than that build.

These are from new egg. This is the rough draft would like to get feed back on what will be proper MOBO to buy instead of that expensive one.

Don't spend 350 bucks on a thermaltake psu....... I have had nothing but trouble with all of their models including the Toughpower line, since about 4 years ago and they aren't getting better. Go with Antec, Corsair, Silverstone or even PC Power & Cooling. Also what do you need a 1200W psu for, 1000W is more than enough for what you're using it for.
