My debit card is burning a hole in my wallet. I'm looking to pull the trigger on a new gaming rig, this week probably.

On the wishlist:
Processor: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920
HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Memory: OCZ 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail (edited for triple channel goodness)
Video Card: HIS Hightech H487F1GP Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Already have:
Case: Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Optical: A DVD writer from Lite-On (I think) that I don't remember the details for
HDD: An 80GB IDE hard drive from a previous computer I'll be moving data from.

I'm sure there are better parts I could shop for, but the stuff on that list is hovering at my budget limit as it is (that is, around $1100). Is there anything in the list that would obviously not work together? Or are there comparably-priced parts that I should be looking at instead? I require science!
