very good.

two things, don't believe the motherboard does symmetrical crossfire.

and how about looking at the newer coolermaster CM690 MK II which also has a SSD mount included.
 
Seeing that this system ressembles the one I am making quite a lot, I thought I would ask here;

The Asus motherboard says it supports Crossfire. However, does it merely 'support' it or does it actually allow for symmetrical configuration?

Also, does it make sense to go with the Corsair SSD over the Intel choices (either 40 or 80GB) if neoither price nor space is at a premium? Most reviews praise the Intel SSDs, I am not familiar with the Corsair.

Finally, I was eyeing the Dominator II myself. How much of a boon is the SSD mount? And will you need special adaptors to make SSD work with this setup?
 
maybe look at the new Noctua NH-D14 cooler, seen a fair few differing reports on the H70, if you havent already check out the cooling/overclocking forum.

Spoke with Overclockers support directly; they assured me that the Asus in question does support symmetrical Crossfire in 16x slots. So if you are going with ATI graphics, I guess it makes it a pretty good board to pair up with the i5.
