Hello, I'm getting a new PC and i'm basically will be working with 3d graphics and DirectX. I may possibly get another graphics card and use sli, so here's what I have so far. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.

Looks pretty good, but your power supply is overkill. Get this instead:
NCIX.com - Buy Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620W ATX Triple 12V 50A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply 120MM Fan 2X PCI-E - CMPSU-620HX In Canada.

If you have the extra money, you can go for more ram, since you'll be working with 3d graphics.

It seems your getting all your stuff from one website, the only think i could say as a comment is you could get that graphics card for alot cheaper on newegg, but thats the only think, i agree it is overkill on the psu. thats my only comment have fun with it !!!!!

get a p182

get cheaper cpu and then overclock 5600 speeds are easy to reach and with the money you save you can buy the 640mb version which will server you better as your going to be playing at such high reolutions don't sli it gives you a 40% performance boost not worth it

One more question, will the Zalman CNPS9700 LED Copper CPU Heatsink 110MM Fan LGA775 AM2 S939 1250-2800RPM 19.5-35DBA Blue LED
fit in my case, and is it too heavy?
When I get a second graphics card, will it still fit. Also are the fans included with the case, enough for this rig, even when there are two graphics cards?

Thanks

Thats the same psu i just got at Compusa for way cheaper price

I think I will return it i just got it today. I saw the same one for i think the same price and its modular 750 watts from thermaltake also Ill just have the business guys order it for me

Yea, the GPUs exhaust their hot air out the back anyway, so it will be fine so long as you have a nice intake at the front.

I'd probably go with 4GB ram for 3d modelling though.
