EDIT: Changed up some parts!

Hey guys, i'm going to be ordering parts for a new computer at the end of this month and i still need to get some of the parts together..

Here's what i have so far.

Case - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU & Cooling Fan - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Video Card; Between this - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] OR this - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Motherboard - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Memory - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

HDD - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Keyboard - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

*I already have a monitor and mouse, so i don't need those.

I've got a budget of about $1,450, so keep that in mind.

Please help and make some suggestions with what else i should get!

Instead of getting 2 video cards get one that is better, and if you want 2 you could add the second one later.

I got some good ideas:

Switch to 1 good card, a gtx 580 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

or radeon 7870 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Switch your case with a corsair 400r [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

A good modular PSU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

RAM [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

and just pick whatever dvd drive you want.

This should turn out to be a very nice build

I would say that x2 GTX 560 runs better than one 580!

I currently got GTX 570 SLI(x2), runs way better than one 590!

You should never start off with SLI'd cards right off the bat unless they are the cream of the crop - in this case, they are not. It is better off to get the single best GPU out on the market right now that fits in your price range - for now, it's the newly released GTX 670. If you have 1 670 now, not only will it be better than SLI'd 560's, but when you want to add another card or two since it supports tri SLI, you can and you'll get even better performance.

So in summary:

1 x 670 > 2 x 560's now.

And when you want to SLI, obviously 2 x 670's > 2 x 560's.

Don't skimp on the PSU btw.
