gone slightly over budget there thanks to the 3D, but im sure it'll be worth it. can't wait to do some 3d gaming. and assuming that all the parts are in stock when i order it (which they arn't at the moment) im going to go with the fast track delivery aswell. hopefully be ordering in the next week or two, so i still have plenty of time to make any more adjustments if i need to.
i just have 2 questions:
1) is that spec ok for adding a second GTX470 in the future? (is the PSU enough, and will the case fit it?)
2) is that spec ok for the 3d vision technology? the GTX470 will let me use 3d won't it?

Looks good, yeah the power supply is big enough for a second GTX470 and the case is large enough. The GTX470 will be fine for 3D but the other (MAJOR) advantage of getting a 3d-capable monitor over a normal one is that you have a refresh rate of 120hz so even if you don't bother using it for 3D you won't have to use V-sync to prevent screen tearing up to 120FPS. Ghosting also goes away with 120hz monitors which is pretty cool.
