My plans for the year

If your budget is ~$3000, why not go a step up and build one based around the Core i7s instead?

Intel Core i7 920 ($295) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202

Asus P6T Deluxe ($285) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131346

or

GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 ($299) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128362

6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...70147 1052429371 1052345114&name=6GB (3 x 2GB)

Plenty to choose from. Decide for yourself which set you want. If you want 12GB, buy a second set.

Have you considered the 4870 X2 instead of the GTX 295? What size monitor are you playing on? If its not a 30inch, you could save a few hundred and look at the 4870 or GTX 260.

Your other peripheral parts are fine though.

I guess you're right HardHat. I'm using a 22 inch monitor, so I chose 2 GTX 280's and their normal price is $425 but they're $100 cheaper now so I saved about $400 from the GTX 295's that I could used on other stuff. Plus the Core 2 Quad was $500 this one is $300 i saved a lot of money there and I used it for the motherboard and the RAM. I'm still wondering if I should get the G13 gameboard? Is it good?
 
Lian-Li cases are excellent for gaming. Antec makes a nice server-grade case, but it's almost always a waste of space and money. I would highly recommend you consider a Lian-Li aluminum case for all of that hardware. Cooling is important too.
 
But it's getting over $3000. I'll have to go with this case and then buy another one later.
 
I have the G13 gameboard, and I love it... it takes a bit to set up, and you have to set bindings for each game sepertely, however it works out well and is really quite functional... I am much smoother on my movements and much quicker on my snap shots... once I get a little mroe used to it, I don't think I could ever go back...

Well I expected that. I can tell even by its looks that it is good. It's not flat like the other gameboards, it's like a wave and it has a palm rest. Plus it has a joystick too. I think I'll buy the G13 too, along with the G11(it has more programmable keys than the G15, the G13 has an LCD screen).
 
I was wondering if the XION Solaris XON-403 is good and can my parts fit in there. Can they?
 
Never heard of XION before. You're spending $3000, SLI setup. The Antec 900 you originally listed is fine. You're buying quality parts, why house them in a cheap $40 enclosure?

In fact, the parts you put down in your OP are all ok. Start adding them into cart on the Egg.
