Fuzion MOBO
8 gb ram 1600mhz
SSD
6970 2 gb GPU
WD 500gb HDD
Corsair 750 PSU(don't Know what I need to run 2 6970 gpu for the future?)
Win 7 Pro

Well the bold parts are the two bits that seem to be most important *at the moment*, and you've definitely made the right choices there. Emphasis on the fact that these particularly important parts might only be temporarily more important if changes are made to the way the engine works. Any more detail about which motherboard? You don't want something that you won't be able to upgrade later.
