Could you please list part names with those links? Thanks.

everything looks good but note, for every video card installed. You will lose hard drive slot in Antec 300.

Fixed

Looks good to me. I was gonna recommend cheaper combos from Newegg then saw that you were in California. So never mind

Do you happen to live near a Microcenter?

 

[Dalai]

Thanks for your replies - Danny, I believe the nearest microcenter is about an hour away, so looks like I'm sticking with Amazon for everything but the video card. Time to order, wish me luck!

even after tax, this would be a better deal:
