Alright. Ordering these parts soon. I'm sure you guys will have things to say about what I'm choosing. I'd like opinions and alternatives if the part I've chosen sucks (it happens).
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932

Motherboard: Asus P6X58D Premium

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 (I know Microcenter has it for cheaper, just for show)

HD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB in Raid 1

RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR3 1800

GPU: XFX HD 5870 XXX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150456
Can I Crossfire a 5870 with a 5770? If not, will two 5770's do a better job than a single 5870?

OS: Win 7 Home Prem
Monitor: Asus VW246H 24" x2

PhysX: EVGA 9800GT 512MB

I'm between the EVGA 9800 GT and the XFX GTS 250. Those one's only, I want nice looking cards. Will the 9800 GT get the job done well enough? (Price varies relatively small compared to overall project so price doesn't matter). Oh, and I can use nVidia PhysX with a ATI main GPU right?
Total comes out to be around $2400. Working on the watercooling, that's gonna be custom. Thoughts?
