I like the fact that I could pick it up later, same with the video card, would like to spend 1200 US dollars or less and upgrade again when 580 and ivy bridge drop in price. would 2 570 gpu trump 580? would think so.
Sounds fine but like said I would go for a 1st gen i7 (save cash=SB i5) or a SB i7 rather than i5 because in a year or two 4 threads will be limiting.
