I cannot stop Googling the components of my new PC:
I can't help but feel I have a near-perfect PC build here - it is a virtual nVidia SLI-Zone, Certified SLI-Ready, approved system.
The case, a Cooler Master CM Stacker 832, has been confirmed by Cooler Master USA as Certified SLI-Ready (CM.com and CM.Europe have yet to declare this). Some people may argue this as it is not yet on the SLI-Zone list. However, Cooler Master USA are declaring it as such: http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/Products.aspx?pid=1287
The memory is Certified SLI-Ready, Enhanced Performance Profile and is also nVidia badged

The PSU is both Certified SLI-Ready and also ASUS Republic of Gamers Certified.
The Striker Extreme is possibly the most advanced nForce 680i, Certified SLI-Ready, motherboard and is also an ASUS Republic of Gamers motherboard.
The ASUS EN8800 GTX, Certified SLI-Ready, graphics card is the ideal choice here for the ASUS motherboard
nVidia don't seem to include sound cards into SLI-Zone. However, the Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer sound card is obviously a good choice for such a gaming system.
I just hope that all this 'Certified SLI-Ready' that nVidia squeak on about actually makes a difference.
I can't wait to install S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
I hope PC Option, don't have the same problem CyberPower had with the ATX connector and the heatpipe - this is concerning me.
The waiting is turning me cold turkey again.
