Wheres the power supply? You forgot that. Seems like a good build but whats with the crappy speakers? If you already plan on spending that much on a computer build why not pitch in a little more for some good surround sound 7.1 speakers? Also AM3 is old news. Look for AM3+ as this is the newer socket and will support new processors allowing you to upgrade the processor for whatever reason. What do you plan on doing with this computer anyways? If its just for gaming this is overkill. Also if you want you can get a Blu Ray drive for about $40 so you can watch those high def movies on it.

- The newer 6950's are patched. AMD caught on to this fiasco and put a end to it. They were losing money.

- Two 6950's are overkill for a 1080p resolution.

- You're spending a ton of money, why go AMD? A 2500k blows it out of the water when it comes to gaming.

A 2500k / GTX 570 / 850w Corsair / P67-G43 / Hyper 212 would be a much, much better alternative.
