imo buying two graphics cards is kinda a waste.

Not if you want decent price/performance on the higher end of things.

My single GTX460 can max out Crysis at 1080p. Unless you're trying to recreate Toy Story or something, I don't think that much graphics power is needed. For dual monitor setups, SLI would be pretty cool though.

At what, 15 or 20fps?

That may be true for single cards, but dual 6950s run MUCH more quickly than 2x560Ti.

True, but they also cost around $100 more for 2 6950s than 2 560 Ti's. For that price, I could almost get a 2 570's

Mako, 40FPS. Don't be a moron.

I'm getting this case now since the coolermaster is out of stock, and I'm ordering everything today. I know I could get the HAF on amazon, but I like this case too.

Oh god, that case is fugly, but it's your choice. Good luck, and remember, installing the CPU isn't the hardest part of the build. Routing the cables is.

Routing cables is fun as Heck, though.

XCVG, you and I must have deferent case preferences, I like that case and the HAF, while you don't. Also I think the antec 300 is too plain, unlike you. Thats the beauty if building your own computer.

No, it's the worst part. You get your parts all installed nice and neat but then you have to plug all that crap in and the power supply has a million extra cables you're never going to use so they get crammed on top of the optical drive. It's not as bad as it used to be in the ribbon cable days but cabling an otherwise pristine case...

Wiring a server closet kind of ruins cable routing for you. :\
