Hey im not new here but i would like to know any suggestions that u could give me.

i plan to upgrade in later years with another 8800 ultra and i can do fine in the area of overclocking.

My budget is about 3,000 dollars. Dont need screen or anything cause im gonna get an hp 22 inch screen.

Get a better case.
 
I love my Pro case, but I'm not running 8800 Ultras in SLI, and never will. Those cards throw alot of heat. Move up to an Ultra or Extreme, and get some additional fans installed, you won't regret it. 
 
I would also consider whether or not you want that single 500GB drive, or might prefer to RAID a couple of 250GB drives, or even install 2*250GB HDD's and a 74GB 10k rpm Raptor.

I agree - I have the pro case and I would not want to try to shoehorn another 8800 GTX in here.
