Definitely

i would like to buy, but i guess building is cheaper and more fun (will be my first time)
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Must Have sli so i can try tri-sli by june
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?

The listed parts i did by random surfing and i reckon u'll rip it too shreds.
