i have this so far cant decide on case and gpu or gpu configiration. and is 750w psu enough for 2 gpu's or need more?
 
RJC's build except:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-013-OP&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1858

That bundle instead of his suggested CPU/Mobo, exactly the same just cheaper :)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-212-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29

That case instead of the advanced version,

and with the money I've saved you can get the blu-ray drive he forgot ;p

As for advice on your ideas so far... Don't get the H70, it's not that good.... So not worth the money if you really want to spend that money on a cooler get a Noctua D14, however the Akasa RJC suggested is fine.

RAM - Get the Geil stuff, or the OCZ Special ops stuff - both are fine.

Your PUS should be fine for 2 GPU's....

Cases: Well looking around £60:
First is there anything wrong with your current 1200?

Otherwise depending on what you want I'd say,

CM 690 ii
CM HAF 912
Fractal R3

nothing wrong with my 1200 but im anal and want it all new :) lol. is it worth getting 2 gpu for 1920x1080? i see on p67 only x8 if running 2 or is that not much of a big deal?
 
There is only 2-5% difference between a full dual 16x and 8x boards, I use one 580 on the monitor speced, did have 2 580's but one is fine.
 
well was looking at either 2 570's or 2 6970/50 but cant decide lol. too many choices lol. BTW whats the difference with that lite case compared to the advanced version?
