Other than an O/S, kb, mouse and monitor, anything else you think I may need?  Anything that you would swap out?

Newegg.com is running a 6 month no finance promo which I think I may take advantage of.

not knocking newegg but have a look at savastore i think the HD's are a bit cheeper, also your prob getting 4x 512 memmory than 2*1gig , it will be slightly faster and also should be cheeper.

most modern mobo's only have 2 slots, unless you're going for a full tower set up.

I've got dual SLI'd 7800GTX, its pretty sweet if you can swing it
