Mostly I am wondering if this is an efficient way to spend the money I am putting towards it. I wanted to make a really good gaming rig, which may not be overclocked for a while (I still need to learn), and tried to get the most out of the $1500 (which I probably failed at, need help!!) I chose SLI after reading up on it a lot, and decided that it would be a good decision for later upgrades (as the board itself is also very good). Had to go with the 6600GT's because NOWHERE ever has 6800GT's in stock (I would have to wait until mid January it seems, which I may not have time for). Also, please assume I have nothing extra aside from a monitor/mouse/keyboard, because I may be missing something obvious, but I'm new to home building so please tell me
Thanks for any help/opinions/suggestions.

ps. I can supply all the newegg sites also if needed, just thought they were too much clutter
