This is a very good build for 3d. For a none 3d setup Reaper 392's build looks good, I think the extra £10 would be well worth spent on this 580:

That is if it's a dual slot one, can't really tell.

I'll have a go at the AMD Eyefinity version then to go against Reapers.

Now Price can be lowered easily by changing the case. Which i put in because well, its one of the best, but like I said, pricey.

Added 2x 6950's of the FleX version, which mean's no silly displayport adapters needed for 3 screens.

ah right. i chose the good edition over the super overclocked one simply because it exhausts the air out of the back of the card, but with the silverstone case mounting the card vertically then the overclocked one is probably better
