Spend less money on the CPU and spend more on better GPUs those two are good, and will be beast when crossfired but your wasting money on the CPU that you could be spending on the Graphics.
Also, bad hard drives, get one 7200RPM hard drive, two TB is you want.
And get a SSD drive for the OS. Those Hard drives are very poor for an OS Drive, it will take you at least a minute to boot up where with an SSD drive it is done in 10seconds.

Blu Ray writers are pointless, it cost like 20$ for a single writable blu-ray disc. Huge waste of money.
Also wasting money on the soundcard, they're not that important so you don't need to spend 200$ on them...

Are you actually building this?

So should I maybe step up to the NVIDIA 3gb HD graphics card?
and the second one as an NVIDIA 2GB graphics card
Because i have 4 monitors setup in 180 degress view so I game hard.
Solid state drives would be a better idea...
The sound card isnt that bad. I have in my room right now, 4 MTX 14" subwoofers all put in one box under my pc desk. Now those combined watts is 4000 peak. I have 2 amps channeled in to on audio cord connecting to my computer. Now the computer i have now is kindof shitty so the sound barely hits. With this sound card, I can create hd sound, MIND BLOWING bass and shaking my neighbors house hehe

It depends on the card model, not the amount of VRAM it has. But in your case when you want to game on 4 monitors, yes go for the 3GB one as you need more VRAM for multiple monitors.
Also, I suggest you wait a few weeks and either get one of the new ATI 7000 series graphics cards, or just get the same ones but they will be a lot cheaper. Perhaps get two 6970s or one 6990, will rip through any game and those models use less power and perform better than the GTX models.

I never said the sound card was bad, if you have the money and don't mind spending it go for it.
But personally I wouldn't spend 200$ on a sound card.

I know i just wanted to describe my setup as best as possible.

Thanks for the help

Is this PC for gaming ? If so a Sandybridge CPU would probably be a better investment because for the extra price your not going to get that much more performance in game compared to an i5 2500k and as Flying Irish Man said you'd be better off getting a better video card. Stick with a single card setup if you can, they are much more stable and better in the long run. Perhaps a GTX 590, and also an SSD and a single 2TB HDD are enough. I wouldn't recommend a Corsair Nova SSD because I have one in my system and it's shit. Get an OCZ mac IOPS 120GB SSD and a 1TB WD Caviar Black, a Single 20$ Optical drive is more enough. Also if this PC isn't primarily for gaming I would stick with a 3960K. Hope this help oh and 32GB is way too overkill and 400$ seems a bit steep for it :s

There's one I configured on Cyberpower's website. Costs 3000$ and for an extra 400 if you really wanted you could get the 3960X this has the 3960K. If the machine is gaming orientated then the system I configured for you will tear through any game on the market an any resolution, and will also tear through anything else you throw at it.

this sounds more like a small server then a computer lol you will never use 1/4 the power you can output on this for any game and amd has a better processor compared to the you listed
