  Old  Possible Setup

I suck at planning my next builds. I was going to purchase a Mac, but then I'd need to buy new Adobe software and it just started to add up way to quickly. So I'm going to stick with good old windows, and I think I've picked out a system for a darn good price that should out perform most Macs that cost around the same and maybe more than this setup (along with systems from Dell, Gateway, Alienware, etc). I was looking for some opinions because honestly I haven't kept up with the swift moving tech scene.
Price: $1,284.94

I already have CD drives, OS, mouse, keyboard, monitor (Gateway 19" Widescreen), speakers, and UPS backup. Am I missing anything?

The main reason I like this system is that I can easily add another 8800GTS for SLI, or add more ram. I'm worried about the processor though, with the fact that it may cause a bottleneck. However I've read that it performs better than the FX-62 yet it costs almost $100 less!

I would greatly appreciate some comments, this is a huge investment for me.
