You might toss one of these on there. It's backlit blue, looks great with that case, and provids all kinds of useful information.

But most importantly you'll want to get an additional 120mm led blue fan for the side panel assuming the Antec 900 is still sold with that fan slot empty.

I would also ditch the power supply and get something modular. Possibly some extenstions as well. That's really important as you need to minimize clutter, and are already going to have a tricky time getting the power lines from the PSU to the motherboard.

Modular? And the control panel is for what?

So switch the case, video card and the MOB then? Motherboard: Asus P5E (has cross-fire, correct?), case: Case: Antec 300 and Video card: Visiontek Radeon HD4870? Vista or XP?

@Bosemer: Thank you! This is helping alot.

@Matrixian: If you can spend less then $2000, Excellent! Just need it to last. Ya, include a monitor. 20 inch prefurably. Also two graphics cards? Will that be needed? I'm okay with it though if it will increase the comps longevity.

Okay, I'm honestly not that computer smart, so I was hoping I could turn to the gamespot community for help to build a pretty sweet gaming computer.

Here is the site I plan to buy the computer from as I can pick it up, as it is located in my hometown: http://www.memoryexpress.com/SystemConfig/

The games I plan to play on it is: Crysis, COD4, Orange box, G-mod, and soon to be released, Spore (I at least know Spore doesn't have to strong of requirements! XD).

I want this computer to last and to play some awesome games in the future. Also, I hate vista, but if I need it, let me know. Try to keep the price in the price range of $2000 with a maximum of $2500.

Thanks in advance.
