Help / Rate my computer build?

This will be my second build on a computer. I would like to keep it at $1000, but $1100 tops.
I love a powerful multitasking computer that is fast, I would like to SLI
2x GTX 550ti if possible in this build. I like looks but I love performance. Rate this build
and help me make it better within the budget. Thanks ahead of time.

Pretty good build. doesnt look like there are any compatibility issues. Im not a big fan of SLI/CorssfireX with lower-performing cards because you can usually get a higher-performing card for the price of 2 cheap cards. For example, two 550 Ti's in SLI costs about 225 dollars (depends on where youre gettting them from), and a single HD 7870 costs 229, but has better power consumption, 2GB of ram, and better performance. also, im not a big fan of microATX boards, but thats just my opinion. link to an ATX motherboard around the same price below.

I will choose a cheaper mother board.
Even i don't care choosing core i5 for gaming

I will increase the SSD to 256GB atleast
There is not point of doing build with out a good GPU card
I will get 660Ti (cooler / new / low temp)
