Really, I want something that's going to blast apart whatever the next-big-step in gaming is.
I'm really not interested in multi-GPUs. From what I've seen in benchmarks, the 7970 is more than enough for all current-gaming purposes.
And yeah, 1600 RAM is definitely the plan.
Yeah I dunno what the price difference between a 7970 and two 560TIs is, but I know that it ended up being worth it for me. But I was also going for super performance because I do all of the animation/video editing stuff.
Good idea with the SSD btw, with one that big you can fit your OS and all your software no sweat. Just grab another regular HDD to use for your data storage if you can squeeze the money in (I got my 2gig ones for around 100, so they're pretty affordable), as that'll speed up data access too. Of course I don't know what sort of data you store so that may or may not be worth it.
Thumbs up to the RAM.
Also that mobo is the same as mine, and a fantastic piece of hardware.
Have you decided on brands yet for all your bits? Make sure you go with either Gigabyte or Asus for the mobo/GPU
