How's your build going so far?
Since you last posted, some nice stuff came out.
Asus Pro Art 24" 1920x1200 IPS display $500, review in HWC and Hot hardware
Silverstone Raven RV03 $140 without shipping, review in pro-clockers
I don't like the reference 6990 from the reviews, still think CFX HD6950 2 GB is how I would do it. Either MSI Twin Frozr III or HIS IceQ Turbo.

Hope it's going well!
