Thanks again for your input.

I'm looking at those "build suggestions" that simswr posted previously. The 1200 dollar version sounds pretty nice, and from what I'm reading, most people are still happy with only one vid card, which surprised me. I got the impression that two vid cards was par for the course for gaming computers these days.

Not with the advances in video cards since the introduction of the dual cards

Only problem I came up with, is the Asus Black DVD Burner that is posted is titled "deactivated item" on NewEgg. Any suggestions for a replacement?
